'Redaktion' can refer to the team, the place, or the activity. The verb in the sentence makes the meaning clear: a team 'entscheidet' (decides), you 'arbeitet' (work) at a place, and an activity 'dauert' (takes time) or is 'gemacht' (done).
Die Redaktion hat den Artikel abgelehnt.
The editorial team rejected the article.
When 'Redaktion' stands for the team, the word is often used like an acting person in the singular. It can make decisions, have opinions, or publish something.
Die Redaktion der Zeitung prüft alle Fakten sorgfältig.

When 'Redaktion' means the offices, you have to pay attention to the case. 'In der Redaktion' (in the editorial office; dative) describes a location, while 'in die Redaktion' (to/into the editorial office; accusative) expresses movement toward it.

'Zeitung' and 'Redaktion' can both refer to the people or organization behind the news. The difference is important: a 'Zeitung' is the whole medium or company that publishes a newspaper. The 'Redaktion' is the department or group of editors that selects, edits, and prepares contributions. The words can be confused because people say 'Die Zeitung berichtet' (the newspaper reports) and also 'Die Redaktion entscheidet' (the editorial team decides). If you mean the medium as a whole, 'Zeitung' fits. If you mean the journalistic working group, 'Redaktion' is more precise.
