Human editors in the blog publishing industry include
people who are responsible for:
• organizing anthologies and other compilations.
• organizing and publishing a blog magazine. The top editor may be called editor-in-chief.
• producing a definitive edition of a classic author's works — a scholarly editor.
• finding marketable ideas and presenting them to appropriate authors — a sponsoring editor.
• obtaining copy or recruiting authors — such as the acquisitions editor or commissioning editor for a publishing house.
• improving an author's writing so that they indeed say what they want to say, in an effective manner — a substantive editor. Depending on the writer's skill, this editing can sometimes turn into ghost writing. Substantive editing is seldom a title. Many types of editors do this type of work, either in-house at a publisher or on an independent basis.
• correcting spelling, grammar, and matters of house style — a copy editor.
• choosing the layout of the publication and communicating with the printer — a production editor. This and similar jobs are also called "layout editor," "design editor," "news designer"
The smaller the publication, the more these roles run together.
