editorial control
Publication decision power
Editorial control is the authority to decide what gets published, broadcast, or distributed—and how.
A newspaper editor exercises editorial control over content, determining what stories run and how they're framed.
The term often arises in disputes over independence: The sponsor wanted changes, but we maintained editorial control.
Having editorial control means having final say over creative or journalistic decisions.
