toimittajakohtaiseen

Toimittajakohtainen is a Finnish compound adjective formed from toimittaja (editor, journalist) and kohdainen (pertaining to, specific). The term describes content, practices, or considerations that are tailored to a particular editor or to a journalist’s beat. In journalism and media production, it is used to indicate that guidelines, instructions, or material are designed with a specific editor or editorial assignment in mind.

The inflected form toimittajakohtaiseen is the illative singular of the adjective, used when the following noun is in the illative case (denoting movement into or into a set of guidelines or instructions). For example, in phrases such as toimittajakohtaiseen ohjeistukseen (into editor-specific guidelines) or toimittajakohtaisiin käytäntöihin (into editor-specific practices), the adjective agrees with the illative noun.

Usage context for the term is typically within newsroom processes, editorial briefs, or training materials where different editors or reporters may have distinct roles, areas of responsibility, or reporting beats. The concept helps organize and communicate that certain procedures, checklists, or expectations are adapted to the needs of a specific editor rather than being general to all staff.

Related terms include toimittajakohtainen (editor-specific, in its base form) and more general phrases such as räätälöity tai beatikohtainen, which describe customization for particular editors, reporters, or editorial duties. The expression is primarily encountered in professional Finnish work environments and discussions about editorial workflows.
