The article presents the results of study of editors-in chief at Russian dailies. In particular the social, demographic characteristics and careers have been investigated. The author concludes that the group of editors-in chief has been significantly transformed in the last years. The professionalization of editor’s-in-chief work at dailies on the basis of journalistic competencies is evident. The “universalization” of professional competencies is not the trend for now.
