There's a very good programme on BBC Radio 4 about language, called Word of Mouth, and one of the most recent ones was about editing.
The poet Michael Rosen talks to two guests including an editor from The Economist, and I found it fascinating to have a glimpse into his work, and how cutting the number of words can actually concentrate and intensify meaning.
You might have to sign in to listen, but it's worth it. I love Radio 4. Off to listen to Gardeners' Question Time now.
