journalism jargon.
I have absolutely no idea what it means.

revisione del testo

Explanation:
"copy" è il testo, cioè tutto l'articolo.
"reading" significa solo che una persona lo sta leggendo per eventuali errori di ortografia/punteggiatura.
Se poi apporta cambiamenti al testo egli diventa un "editor".
"Editor" è anche il redattore del giornale che "per definizione" ha il potere assoluto di apportare variazioni a qualunque testo.
