Assistant magazine editors similarly control the flow of articles and comcic strips into the editor-in-chief's hands, who then decides how to compose the issue.  However, assistant editors of magazines may also be responsible for verifying that articles have been written according to the magazine's manual of style, that the facts contained in articles are correct, or for excising material which runs overlong.  As opposed to their television and audio counterparts, they may in fact engage in the actual work of editing, as the editor-in-chief wears several managerial "hats" not worn by his or her television counterparts.

Assistant editors for a publishing house such as [[BBC Books[[ are the most distantly related to television assistant editors.  They are typically engaged with giving a first read to a manuscript to help their editors understand whether it is worth their time to read the manuscript themselves, if the manuscript has not been commissioned.  They may also provide primary editorial consultation to an author if the main editor is engaged in other, higher-priority work.  Though similar to a television assistant editor in that they act as a conduit of information from the editor to other departments in the publishing house, and to the actors who provide the content, they are much more engaged in the process of actually shaping the final product than a television assistant editor.
