"A magazine editor oversees the completion of each issue of the publication so that it fits in with the magazine's editorial vision. The higher up the editor's position, the more say he or she has in selecting and developing the magazine's voice and focus. The types and number of editors that work for a magazine vary depending on the kind and size of the publication. Generally, there are contributing, associate and managing editors as well as an editor in chief who must all work toward the same goal of creating quality issues of the magazine."

Basically they are like school teachers press ganging the students into doing thier work on time and to the right spec and make sure it fits in with what everyone is doing, like a massive group project.
