The '''''vigintisexvir editor commentariorum''''' (editor of written news) was one of the [[Magistracies (Nova Roma)|magistracies]] of [[Nova Roma]], which is now discontinued. Its functions are largely continued by the ''[[curator rei informaticae (Nova Roma)|curator rei informaticae]]'' and ''[[aediles (Nova Roma)|aediles]]''.

The ''editor commentariorum''  was responsible for the production, publication, and distribution of the official publications sponsored by the [[Res publica Novae Romae|State]]. 

The ''editor commentariorum'' was elected annually by the people in the first decade of Nova Roman history, after the [[lex Galeria de editore commentariorum (Nova Roma)|lex Galeria de editore commentariorum]], it became a position appointed by a vote of the [[senate (Nova Roma)|senate]] on the nomination of a [[consul (Nova Roma)|consul]], serving for three years. 

The ''editor commentariorum'' had the authority to appoint his own [[Scriba (Nova Roma)|scribae]]. 

A '''deputy ''editor commentariorum''''' was also appointed by a vote of the senate on the nomination of a consul. The deputy served as the chief assistant to the ''editor commentariorum''. If during the three year term a vacancy occurred, the deputy ''editor commentariorum'' had to assume the duties for remainder of that term as ''editor commentariorum''.

The position was neglected and effectively lapsed after the decline in interest for newsletter-type publication within Nova Roma, and after the onset of the Sullan-Caesarian period of Nova Roma, no more ''editores'' were appointed.

This office was abolished by the [[Lex Arria Tullia de quibusdam legibus obsoletis abrogandis corrigundisve (Nova Roma)|lex Arria Tullia de quibusdam legibus obsoletis abrogandis corrigundisve]] {{Dec 28}} {{2021}}
