Editorial board - /ˌed.ɪˈtɔː.ri.əl bɔːd/

Therefore, these pieces are coordinated and produced by an 'editorial board', which is a group of senior editors and experts who determine the paper's policy and voice on public issues.

A contrast to - /ə ˈkɒn.trɑːst tuː/
This phrase is used to highlight the difference between two things. In the text, the infrequent sale of magazines (weekly or monthly) is being compared to the daily 'screaming headlines' of newspapers. The preposition 'to' is the standard idiomatic partner for 'contrast' when showing that one thing is remarkably different from another thing mentioned.

Distributor - /dɪˈstrɪb.jə.tə/
Once the newspaper has been printed (by pressmen), it must be transported and delivered to various retail points, vendors, and subscribers. The 'distributors' are the individuals or companies responsible for the logistics of getting the daily paper from the printing house to the general public. While salesmen sell, the supply chain is managed by distributors.
