What advice do you have for other young professionals who aspire to become an editor extraordinaire?

You are telling the stories of other people. Writers and editors need to leave their egos and personal opinions at the door. You will meet people with whom you disagree on a visceral level, but your writing or editing can never show those feelings.

What is the most important trend in editorial content today?

I love infographics when they accompany an article. People are very visual, and a quality graphic can make the information more accessible and invite the reader to read more closely.
