How a Copy Desk Works. tories come to the copy desk after a first edit -- the substantive, or content, edit, by an assignment, or originating, editor. At most any daily, this means local copy is edited by a city or metro editor or one of that editor's deputies or assistants. National and international copy follows the same path at the very large dailies, but at smaller papers most of that copy is pulled from the wire by a wire editor on the copy desk. I can think of three basic methods of handling copy once it gets to the desk. 1  The traditional method is to have someone (normally the slot -- the chief or acting chief -- but sometimes this job is a specialty unto itself) grab stories and parcel them out to rank-and-file copy editors (the rim editors).
