toimituksella

Toimituksella is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun toimitus, commonly translated as the editorial office or the editorial staff in a newspaper, magazine, or other media organization. In Finnish grammar, it is used to express location (on/at the editorial office) or agency (by the editorial staff) in statements about media operations, decisions, or responsibilities.

Morphology and meaning: The form is created by adding the adessive suffix -lla to the stem toimitus, yielding toimituksella. The related allative form toimitukselle means “to the editorial office.” The term may refer to the physical location of the newsroom or to the collective body of people who produce and oversee content.

Usage in media and publishing contexts: In journalism and publishing, toimitus denotes the newsroom or editorial board as an organizational entity. The adessive form toimituksella can be used to attribute actions, decisions, or authority to that unit, particularly in formal or written descriptions. For example, phrases in official statements or organizational communications may indicate that a decision was made by the editorial staff (toimituksella päätös), or describe procedures occurring at the editorial office. In everyday language, more common constructions often use the active form toimitus päätti (“the editorial staff decided”) rather than the adessive.

Relation to related terms: The root toimitus also has broader meanings, such as delivery, administration, or production in different contexts, but toimituksella specifically reflects the editorial office/staff sense when used in its adessive form.
