editorselected

Editorselected (often written as Editor-selected or Editor's Pick) is a label used in publishing to denote content curated by editors as worthy of attention. It signals editorial endorsement rather than algorithmic ranking. The designation is commonly applied to articles, videos, podcasts, or other content within digital platforms and print media.

In online outlets editor-selected items appear on a dedicated section such as Editor's Picks, or as badges on individual items. News apps may feature editor-selected stories in newsletters or home screens, and some platforms label a weekly or monthly list compiled by editors.

The criteria vary by publication but typically include relevance to the audience, originality, accuracy, reporting quality, and timeliness. Editors may rely on internal review, pitches from staff or contributors, and discussion among editorial teams. Some outlets incorporate reader feedback but maintain final approval by editors.

The label can help readers find high-quality or representative content in a crowded feed. Critics note potential biases in editor selections, opacity about criteria, and risk of underrepresenting minority voices or alternative viewpoints. In some cases, commercial considerations or relationships may influence choices.

The practice is widespread across digital publications and traditional media, reflecting a human-centered approach to curation in contrast to automated recommendation systems.
