Redakní

Redakní is an adjective in Czech that denotes something connected with editors or the editorial process. In standard orthography the term is written redakční, and it is used to describe content, documents, plans, or activities that originate from or are intended for an editorial team or publication. In English, it is generally translated as editorial or pertaining to an editorial office.

The word derives from redakce, meaning the editorial office or editorial staff. It is commonly used in journalism, publishing, and media management to label items such as redakční plán (editorial calendar), redakční tým (editorial team), redakční politika (editorial policy), and redakční proces (editorial workflow). The form redakční appears in formal and standard Czech typography, while redakní is a non-diacritic variant that is sometimes encountered in older texts, signage, or systems that omit diacritics.

Usage notes: redakční is used as a modifier for nouns related to editorial work, publishing operations, or content prepared by editors. It is not typically used as a noun itself; for the noun form “editorial,” one would refer to redakce for the editorial office or to redaktor for the editor. The term can also describe guidelines, standards, or resources that govern editorial activity, such as redakční pravidla (editorial rules).

In sum, redakní/redakční identifies elements tied to editing and editorial management, a core concept in media and publishing contexts.
