A deskman is a seemingly archaic term, referring to a journalist who performs a copy editing (also known as 'sub editing') role on newspapers or magazines. The usage is American-English (unlike the more universal copy editor and sub editor), and is cited in 'Essential English for Journalists, Editors and Writers' by Harold Evans, a bible for journalists.
