Strong ideas need structure to land. Helping readers know where to look first is one of the most practical ways editing supports understanding. That is one of the insights Merrill Perlman left us with in one of our monthly webcasts.

At ACES: The Society for Editing, we believe editing plays a vital role in supporting the right of people to be heard. Editors help bring clarity, context, and care to language, and that work matters in documenting history, challenging inequality, and ensuring stories are not overlooked or erased.

When Canadian editors noticed British spellings appearing in federal budget documents, they did more than note a shift in style. They wrote an open letter to the prime minister. Read the full story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/world/ca…

If you’ve edited AI-generated text lately, you’ve probably noticed the sudden flood of em dashes. With AI leaning on it so heavily, we’re curious how you decide when an em dash earns its place. When does it help, and when does it feel like filler?

House style has always been the editor’s anchor. Long before digital content workflows, newspapers relied on their own in-house rules to keep teams consistent . As publishing evolved, so did house style, from typeset instructions and newsroom traditions to today’s organization-wide playbooks.

Once reserved for texts and group chats, emojis now appear in emails, headlines, brand messaging, and even internal reports. Some say emojis add tone and reduce ambiguity. Others argue they distract from the message or diminish credibility. What’s your approach?

A reporter once called to ask if “B4” would fly in a push alert. I said, “Only if your readers speak license plate.” We went with “before,” saved two emails, and three headaches. Which convenience spelling trips your alarms every time, and how do you explain your edit to the writer?
