Where Every Story Is Decided.
The JUANEWS Editor Desk is the control room of the newsroom. Here, every headline, every angle and every correction is reviewed before it goes live to Africa and the world.
News Editor
Monitors the wires, submissions and live tips; decides what becomes a JUANEWS headline and assigns stories to the right reporters.
Section / Desk Editor
Owns a zone (Africa Desk, Global, Politics, Economy, etc.), shapes angles, checks context and aligns every story with our editorial mission.
Copy & Standards Editor
Cleans language, checks facts, enforces style, verifies quotes, headlines, captions and makes sure JUANEWS never publishes blindly.
What JUANEWS Editors Do – Every Single Day
Core responsibilities:
- Review story pitches, drafts and Raw Africa uploads from reporters and citizens.
- Edit copy for clarity, impact, balance and legal risk before publication.
- Verify names, dates, locations, numbers and all critical facts.
- Decide placement: homepage, JUANEWS Africa, Global, Biafra, Investigations, etc.
- Write and approve headlines, stand-firsts, captions and social copy.
- Coordinate with JUANEWS TV and Reportcast so print, audio and video match.
- Pull back or kill weak, biased or unverified stories — even under pressure.
Tools inside the JUANEWS system:
- JUANEWS Admin Board – internal dashboard for editors.
- Reporter Manager – tracks who filed what, and when.
- Raw Africa – unfiltered citizen footage waiting for verification.
- Reportcast – audio reports that must match the written story.
- JUANEWS TV – live & recorded segments linked to each file.

Work with reporters to tighten copy, fix angles, check sources, confirm photos and verify every critical detail.
Place stories in the right category, set headlines, schedule push alerts and coordinate with JUANEWS TV / Reportcast.
Update developing stories, fix errors, respond to new facts and keep the homepage fresh and honest.
