French term or phrase: direction des journaux

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!

Newspaper editorship

Explanation:
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

Explanation:
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.
