Braz (asker) Apr 2, 2006:
Thanks! "By editorial staff" sounds fine and says the right thing ;-)
Sormane Fitzgerald Apr 2, 2006:
There's no need for caps...sorry about that...by editorial staff.
Sormane Fitzgerald Apr 2, 2006:
Yes, you're right, as a noun, but not as an adjective. In EN we say "by Editorial Staff," as suggested by Antonio and Isabella.
Braz (asker) Apr 2, 2006:
"editorial" implies an opinion and here we're dealing with just the opposite - an impersonal piece that may have been written by anyone on the staff

"Staff" pode se referir a um ou mais funcionários. Não seria necessariamente o plural

• staff
■ noun
[treated as sing. or plural] the employee(s) of a particular organization.

Portanto, para mim, "editorial staff" implica que o artigo foi escrito e assinado por um funcionário indeterminado da equipe de redação.
Sugestão....

agree edupa : Newsroom is also possible if one is thinking of the physical "redação": On Tuesday, the New York Times Company said it will cut 500 jobs from its payroll, including 45 in the New York Times newsroom, and another 35 in the newsroom of the Boston Globe
