Journalists, mostly newspapers, news agencies, radio stations, television stations and other media, are the staff who cover photography. Generally speaking, journalists mainly work in newspapers, radio stations and television stations, but there are also journalists who do not work in fixed media organizations, generally called "freelance journalists", who accept media entrustment or contribute for a living. Articles written by these journalists are called manuscripts before editing and works after publication, but the copyright always belongs to journalists.
Editors are the people in publishing houses and newspapers who are responsible for selecting topics, soliciting contributions, reviewing, processing and sorting out. Among them, the text editor is the person who is responsible for sorting out and modifying the wording, knowledge description and content structure of the manuscript. In a single news release, editors usually don't sign their names. Even if they do, they are placed after the works, and brackets are added to show that they are different from the authors.
The final conclusion is: if a news has both the reporter's signature and the editor's name, then the author will always be a reporter, not an editor.
