redaktorów

Redaktorów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun redaktor, which denotes an editor—usually a person responsible for preparing content for publication. The genitive plural redaktorów is used to refer to editors collectively or to things belonging to editors, as in zadania redaktorów (the editors’ tasks) or opinie redaktorów (the editors’ opinions). The feminine form of the noun is redaktorka, and the common plural nominative forms are redaktorzy (for male or mixed groups) and redaktorki (for all-female groups).

In journalism, editors plan coverage, select topics, assign stories, edit texts for clarity and accuracy, fact-check, and ensure alignment with editorial standards. They may supervise copy editors, coordinate with reporters, and determine deadlines and priorities. In publishing, editors work with manuscripts, decide on revisions, and oversee production workflows. In digital media, editors often monitor audience engagement, update online content, and moderate user-generated material. The role can vary by outlet but generally centers on quality control, factual reliability, and coherence with editorial policy.

Common editorial hierarchies include roles such as redaktor naczelny (editor-in-chief), who leads the editorial policy, and redaktor prowadzący (managing editor), who oversees daily operations. The term redaktorów appears in phrases referring to groups of editors or to possessive relations, for example, zadania redaktorów or praca redaktorów. The word is used across newspapers, magazines, radio and television, and online platforms.

Etymology: redaktor is a Polish borrowing from Latin redactor, meaning one who edits, likely via French or direct medieval influences. The genitive plural redaktorów reflects standard Polish declension. Related terms include redaktor naczelny, redaktorka, and redaktorzy.
