This premiere category awards editing excellence to one person. The portfolio should only represent work of an individual in which they served as the lead editor on a story or package.

Newspaper, Magazine and Online visual editors may enter this category. An editing portfolio may consist of content published on multiple platforms, from apps to online stories and print publication stories. A portfolio entry may include up to 10 stories, either in print or online. A converged print-and-online version of a specific story will count as one story. The print version may include one or more pages.
