managing editor


Explanation:
Propozycja, ktorą poprawiam swoja poprzednia odpowiedz, idac za sugestia (tylko) pewnego ogolnopolskiego dziennika, gdzie sekretarz redakcji "zajmuje sie wszystkim", a przede wszystkim rozdziela przestrzen na poszczegolne dzialy, przy czym zaznaczono, ze istnieja rozne systemy dla tej funkcji.

Przyszedl mi wiec do glowy nastepujacy przyklad:

5.7 Responsibilities of Managing Editor

a. the overall coordination of the writing, editing, and printing of PraxPack;

agree  Elzbieta Pulawska: sekretarz redakcji to po naczelnym najwazniejsza funkcja, rowniez merytoryczna, a wiec bylabym za tym okresleniem.

neutral  KORNELIA ZWIÓR-HOŁENKO: strasznie dużo ma obowiązków (= redaktor naczelny wg PWN-OUP, sama nie wiem co o tym myśleć)

agree  mototarget: Tak, to jedyne oddające zakres obowiązków tłumaczenie. Ten, którego w niemieckich redakcjach tytułują Chef-vom-Dienst, to w redakcjach amerykańskich managing editor. Potwierdzam zakresy obowiązków z długiego doświadczenia na tym stanowisku, patrz. Wiki.

  -> seriously, however, I think that publisher's have secretaries but editor's do not
neutral  Kasia Trzcińska-Draper (X): Hmmm... don't know about that :) I've worked as an editorial assistant in London not that long ago, and honestly, the job has nothing to do with the Polish 'sekretarz redakcji'. 'Editorial Secretary' would be my choice, http://www3.oup.co.uk/mind/edboards
