Italian word

redazione

editorial office; the editorial staff of a newspaper or broadcaster

Looks like

redaction

the act of editing or censoring a document (often legal/governmental)

⚠️ The trap

English 'redaction' specifically means blacking out parts of a document for secrecy. Italian 'redazione' means the editorial office or staff — the opposite of secretive, it's where content is produced. A completely different meaning despite looking similar.

To say "the act of editing or censoring a document (often legal/governmental)" in Italian:

redazione (correct for newsroom/editorial office)

"redazione" in English means:

editorial office; the editorial staff of a newspaper or broadcaster

Example

"La redazione del giornale lavora tutta la notte."

"The newspaper's editorial team works through the night."
