Definition

  • Digital technologies have been used by newspaper and magazine editors since word processors – simple computers for writing—were introduced into newsrooms in the 1970s. Since the mid-1990s, digital editing has referred to the practice of working with digitized source materials: text written on a computer; photographs taken with a digital camera and prepared for publication using digital video editing software; video and audio captured, stored, and edited in digital format; and graphics (such as illustrations or information graphics) created on a computer.
