Becoming an editor for a large portal or blog is very gratifying but takes a lot of work. A lot goes into keeping successful sites going strong day in and day out. Keeping track of stories, meeting deadlines, and managing writers are all parts of an editor’s job. While editors need to stay involved throughout the process, there are tools they can use to get more things done in less time. Here are 5 WordPress plugins that are quite helpful for site editors:
