What do you think are the responsibilities of a chief editor?

The chief editors job is to make sure that the editors are making the right decisions when they edit magazines and to "edit" the editors edits if they edit wrong.
The chief editor is the "face of the story" and is mentioned in the magazine, they also choose what theme they will use this episode.
