Italian term or phrase: direttore responsabile
Devo tradurre questo termine specifico del giornalismo, il contesto nel testo è inesistente (è un curriculum e c'è solo scritto che il signor X è stato direttore responsabile).
Questo è quanto dice Wikipedia in merito:
"Il direttore è il trait d'union fra la redazione e l'editore. Secondo una tradizione consolidata nel mondo del giornalismo, il proprietario del giornale non intrattiene rapporti diretti con la redazione. Ciò a garanzia dell'indipendenza dei giornalisti.
Il direttore responsabile svolge il ruolo di snodo: è scelto dal proprietario, che spesso gli impone la linea editoriale da seguire, ma ha il diritto di guidare in tutta autonomia la redazione, senza interferenze da parte del proprietario. L'unico momento in cui il proprietario di un giornale si confronta direttamente con la redazione è in occasione della nomina del direttore: l'atto è sottoposto al gradimento dell'assemblea di redazione, che si esprime con un voto libero e segreto "

Explanation:
in Italian, the "editore" is not the editor, but the publisher, i.e. the owner. So having read the context provided, I would suggest that care is required when translating the remainder of the text.

agree  Raffaela (Shabelula) C.: see NYT and other papers' stafflist. Unfortunately none of the positions specifies "-in-charge" as in Italy the position implies a direct responsibility for the paper's content ---- ? see more in comments
