The adjective 'redaktionell' (editorial) is derived directly from the noun 'die Redaktion' (editorial team). It describes anything that has to do with the work or opinion of the editorial team of a newspaper, broadcaster, or website.
Für die redaktionelle Gestaltung der Zeitschrift ist ein kleines Team verantwortlich.
A small team is responsible for the editorial design of the magazine.
In its main meaning, 'redaktionell' (editorial) is often combined with nouns from the media world. Common examples are 'redaktionelle Inhalte' (editorial content), 'ein redaktioneller Beitrag' (an editorial piece), or the activity 'etwas redaktionell überarbeiten' (to revise something editorially).
Alle Texte durchlaufen eine redaktionelle Prüfung, bevor sie online gehen.
All texts go through an editorial review before they go online.
When a piece is described as 'redaktionell' (editorial), it often means that it reflects the opinion of the editorial team and is not a purely objective news report. This is an important distinction in journalism.
Der Leitartikel ist ein redaktioneller Kommentar zur aktuellen Politik.
The leading article is an editorial commentary on current politics.
content-related
'inhaltlich' and 'redaktionell' can both be used with texts, articles, or media. 'Inhaltlich' refers to what is said in a text: the topic, the arguments, or the information. 'Redaktionell' refers to the work of an editorial team, meaning the selection, checking, and editing of contributions. It can also mean that a text shows the opinion of the editorial team. Learners may confuse the words because editorial teams work with content. The difference is: 'inhaltlich' asks about the what, while 'redaktionell' asks about the editing process or the stance of the editorial team.
