The desk in a newspaper or publishing office where editors review, edit, and prepare copy for publication.
From 'copy' (manuscript) and 'desk,' a term that originated in the late 1800s as newspapers professionalized their editorial processes.
The copydesk was the nerve center of newspapers—the last stop before print where headline writers, editors, and fact-checkers caught errors and shaped the story before millions read it.
