direction des journaux

French to English Other Media / Multimedia
Hi

Nothing to do with the "Direction des Journaux Officiels"!

From a statement from a PR agency:
"La direction des journaux et leurs rédacteurs mandatés sont seuls juges de l'intérêt des informations qui leur sont communiquées."

Who might the "directeurs" be presuming that the rédacteurs are the various editors?

Many thanks!

Sandra Petch (asker) Jan 29, 2010:
I did a search for articles on Eric Fottorino (ex "directeur" of Le Monde) in the Guardian where he is variously referred to as "editorial director" "editor-in-chief" "managing editor" and "managing director"! Four titles for the same person in the same newspaper! A search for Taoufiq Bouachrine turns up lots of "editor" and "editor-in-chief" and a couple of "publisher"!

agree Rob Grayson : Yes, I was going to post "management", but "publishers" is the relevant term for the press

publisher management

my understanding is that we mean the board of directors (the decision makers) of the publishing newspaper

Newspaper editorship

I see many of you, friends, agree on "newspaper publishers". But what about "newspaper editorship" (see Web.Ref.) ?
It seems to me that "editorship" properly refers to a position (= "direction"), better than "publishers" (which refers to individuals).
Thank you for any comment.

newspaper managers

They're the ones who hire the editors in the first place.

Stick with 'newspaper(s)', rather than 'publisher(s)', since many newspapers these days are just parts of bigger media empires. Sure, there's no question of who calls the editorial shots in Rupert Murdoch's empire, but he's not who they have in mind.
