In addition to this, he also needs to ensure that the information provided and views shared in the articles by the reporters are in line with the newspaper agency's views and political standings.

Even the layout and design of the pages are to be approved at the higher level and then ensured by the assistant editor that they are being suitably incorporated in the print. This is another way of saying that all the materials generated by the journalists are checked by the senior editors and assistant editors and they are the ones who approve the content for printing.
