EDITORS The cutting room roundtable
The technology may advance, the budgets may constrict and the responsibilities may increase, but one thing remains constant about the craft of cutting spots - it's still as integral to the art of storytelling as it ever was. With that in mind, we gathered five senior editors from editorial shops in the US, Canada and the UK to discuss what's changed in their vocation, as well as what might need changing in the near future.
