Cue Card Answer 2: 
Currently, I am working as a reporter cum sub-editor at a daily newspaper 
named The Daily Report published in Pakistan. I want to be the editor of a 
newspaper like this one day. 
An editor of a newspaper is all in all to publish the newspaper. S/ he selects the 
reports and makes the final edit before publishing and also is responsible for 
the other activities of the newspaper. The responsibilities are huge and needs 
high skills to complete. Even the mistakes committed by the reporters or 
assistant editors also goes to the editor and he remains responsible for 
everything. Besides, the editor is to set the working schedules for the 
reporters, set their assignments, arrange for passes to enter into restricted 
areas and more other things.
This is a very difficult task to be an editor and only exceptional qualities can 
take me to that position. I have to work hard (though I am working hard as a 
reporter) to achieve this ambition. The first and most important thing is that I 
have to gain the knowledge of news merit. Actually, the news is collected from 
surrounding events. All the events are news but every event cannot be a news 
unless there is proper news value of the event. So, I have to achieve the skill to 
define the news merit of the events. Besides, a newspaper editor is highly 
versed with language. S/ he is able to speak, write and understand several 
languages together. He is expert with other contemporary issues as well. I have 
to achieve all these qualities to be a newspaper editor.
The post of a newspaper editor is a respected one and everyone adores the 
man. The man has access to almost all levels of the society. Even the 
government officials pay respect to the editor. Moreover, the salary of a 
newspaper editor is smart. S/ he is the all in all in a newspaper and owns the 
ability to change the society with his exceptional writing power. The editorials 
published on a newspaper is thought-provoking and able to make the 
government make decisions on any specific issue. Additionally, the editor picks 
the report and change them in a different perspective or directs the sub-
editors to compose the news in an exact manner so that the newspaper

readers could have a greater idea over the issue. But performing the tasks are 
challenging. Thereby, I have set the goal to be a newspaper editor.
To achieve my goal to be a newspaper editor, I have to undergo some training 
on news editing. Though I edit reports to some extent when I do not have any 
assignment outside, I think the skills are not enough for me. I do not know any 
other language other than English and Urdu. So, I have to take some courses 
on other contemporary languages like Hindi, German, Chinese, Japanese and 
Spanish so that I could communicate effectively with those languages. Besides, 
some extensive course of journalism should also be done from any reputed 
institutions so that I could understand the news merit of any events. After a 
couple of years, I think I will have the necessary skills to run a newspaper like a 
skilled editor.
