The term 'copy boy' is a dated term used to refer to a young male employed to run errands, deliver messages or make photocopies in a newspaper office. In contemporary times, this position has been replaced with more gender-neutral and inclusive titles. Examples include 'copy clerk', 'office assistant', and 'administrative assistant'. In addition, as technology advances, the role of the copy boy has become even less relevant. The digital era introduced a new crop of job titles, such as 'digital content creator' and 'content manager', which require higher skills and present more growth opportunities. Whether known as a copy boy or a similar title, this position has shaped and will continue to shape several notable journalists' careers.
