Ra'iis al-taHriir or Muharir 3thiim


Explanation:
Greetings / taHaiya tayyiba wa b3ad...

Two equivalents that have appeared in various Arabic publications are:

1. Ra'iis al-taHriir رئيس التحرير

2. Muharrir 3thiim محرّر عظيم

Hope these help.

Many publication & media houses seem to use only one editor for one item, rather than use a successive string of editors / reviewers to handle and massage the same item.

Khair, in sha' Allah.
