Sub-editors design and check the pages
12:09pm Monday 14th July 2003
ONCE the news editor has allocated the stories and pictures for a page, sub-editors then design the pages in an eye-catching manner, write the headlines and make the text fit.
They check the accuracy and legality of stories, making sure they have correct grammar and spelling.
