What you would need to pay an editor depends on so many factors, it's

You'd probably need to pay someone -- a chess freak of course -- about
$20-25,000 a year to do this. My guess is it would involve, after an intense
week or two overcoming the learning curve, about 15 hours per week. If it
takes someone longer than that they are not the right person. An IM is worth
about $3,000 more than that if they do everything on this list. A GM maybe
$5,000 more. It is really only a part-time job.

Yesterday I was on the premises of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
I noticed an internal job posting for an editor -- with professional
qualifications, of course -- at $53K and up. If you guess the Chess
Life editor's position is basically cut-and-paste, if you suppose a job
really worth doing is worth only in the low twenties, then I think you
offer a low opinion of what Chess Life is or can be.
