Editorial Research Assistants

For as long as books, newspapers, and magazines have been published, editorial research assistants have helped editors and other publishing professionals to conduct research and otherwise ensure that articles and other text are appropriate for publication. Job opportunities for editorial research assistants have expanded in recent years as companies that produce podcasts and blogs, as well as publish other online content, have emerged and require research assistants. Although this job is entry level in nature, many well-known journalists and editors broke into the business as editorial research assistants.
