Is this leadership?

It is assuming she’s actually doing more than just editing other peoples’ work. I assume she helps to determine which stories will be written/published, how to reach new/existing audiences, how to finance the magazine, etc…If she’s just editing articles, that’s a great technical skill - it’s still an EC - but doesn’t show a lot of leadership.

Just a reminder that ‘leadership’ isn’t the end-all and be-all of ECs or college admissions. ECs are also a way to demonstrate creativity, innovativeness, risk-taking, empathy, determination, self-confidence, persuasiveness, generosity, and many other important qualities that colleges like to see in their student bodies. A school full of ‘leaders’ would be quite stifling.
