redakcja

Redakcja is a Polish term with several closely related meanings in journalism, publishing, and media. Most commonly, it refers to the editorial office or newsroom of a newspaper, magazine, radio or television station, or online outlet. It can also denote the editorial team as a collective, including editors, journalists, copy editors, fact-checkers, and designers who are responsible for producing content. In this sense the redakcja is the organizational unit that plans, commissions, edits, and prepares material for publication. The word is also used to describe the editing process itself, as in redakcja tekstu, meaning the act of refining a text before release.

In practice, redakcja coordinates the lifecycle of content—from story selection and assignment to editing, proofreading, fact-checking, and layout. The editor-in-chief (redaktor naczelny) leads the redakcja, often with deputy editors and section editors who oversee specific areas. The term is also used to refer to the physical place where editorial work occurs—the newsroom or editorial office. In different media, the exact structure may vary; some outlets centralize all functions in a single redakcja, while others split it into multiple sections or departments.

See also: redaktor, redakcja tekstu, korekta. The term is primarily used in Polish-language media and publishing to denote both the organizational unit and the process of preparing content for publication.
