The main consideration in editing -is to tell the story in the fewestwords possible.

Condensation is essential becausethere is more material than can be used

The second consideration is clarity , which

is obtained by avoiding intricate sentencestructure and by using familiar words.

The third consideration is 

forceful expression.The sub-editor must constantly seek the most

effective way to express the ideas of the story

The forth consideration is respect for accuracy . Itmeans looking out for small factual errors, whichdisfigure an otherwise good story.
