, I say, "In general, scholarly journals don't pay editors...either. In general, editors...are paid salaries by universities to free them, like authors, to donate their time and labor to ensure the quality of new work appearing in scholarly journals." Add these notes. Journal editors acknowledge this point, and even emphasize it as part of an argument for universities (if not publishers) to better reward their important work.
