Morphology
The meaning 'person responsible for the editorial content and management of a newspaper' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'newspaper' (a periodical) + 'editor' (a person who makes editorial decisions). This straightforward noun–noun compound follows common English and cross‑linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Newspaper editor comes from the simple image of a person who edits the newspaper, sitting at a desk to choose stories, correct text and put pages together before printing. That's why a newspaper editor today is the person 'in charge of the paper's content' and its management.
