The word edition It is a term that is widely used in our language and that we use to refer to various issues.
Printing, production of a literary, artistic, or other work
On the one hand, editing implies the printing, the production of a literary, artistic, scientific work, or an audiovisual document.
Thus, the edition can bear a recording, a printing, or failing that, the reproduction of a work.
So, for example, the printing of a book is popularly called an edition and the same happens with the printing of a newspaper: "the Clarín edition on Sunday brings a gift calendar.”
Broadcasting of a radio or television program
The reference is also transferred to the audiovisual media and, for example, the broadcast of a radio or television program is designated as an edition: “on the morning edition of the newscast they ran a full report on the tragic storm.”
Cut out the most salient parts of a note or interview to make it more attractive and in line with the times of the media
In the editions that are made in television programs about notes, reports, or interviews, such as the newscasts, the mission of this action is to arrange in an orderly manner those most salient parts of a note, interview or report on a topic or personality .
Generally, when journalists go out to cover events, do interviews, among others, an abundant number of hours are recorded, but of course, then, the program will not be able to broadcast everything that was recorded because it will be too long for the times. Therefore, what is done is to edit the note in question, choosing the most relevant parts of the recorded content. Of course, the logical sequence and the meaning of what was recorded or what the interviewed personality said should be respected.
You have to be very careful at this point when editing so as not to violate the meaning of the words or the facts that were recorded in a timely manner.
Realization of events
Another very widespread use of this word is to denote the conducting events, events, contests, festivals.
These are usually events that take place every year. "Tomorrow begins the tenth edition of the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival.”
Post notes in the media
It should be noted that the action of publishing a work, a newspaper, among others, in a specific medium, in this case paper, is called Edit.
Basically, editing is publishing, making the work known to the public.
It can be printed but it can also be made known through other means, for example, the virtual, such as the internet, one of the most widespread in these times to edit works.
While, the individual who deals with the editing of works is referred to as the editor.
There are some phrases of daily use that contain the word in question: critical edition (It is the edition that presents the different variants of those sources that were consulted for the edition of the work), pirate edition (This is an edition that has not been authorized by its author) and princeps edition (It is the first edition of a work, in the case that you have had more than one).
Book publishing
Book publishing has been a very prosperous and active activity for hundreds of years and involves the production and dissemination of varied books, that is, literary, encyclopedic, entertainment, technical, historical, informative works, among many others.
In many cases, publishing also implies the distribution of the book being published, while this task can be carried out by a company specialized in such tasks, and popularly known as a publisher, or it can be carried out by the author of the book himself.
Also, we must say that the modification that is made at the request of a work is called an edition.
A book can have a first edition and then at the same time new editions of it may be produced that may or may not carry modifications of said book.
Editing a book is by no means a simple activity, especially when the publisher is not the author but a publishing company.
In the latter case, the author, once the writing of his work is finished, will deliver a copy to an editorial board or an editor so that they can evaluate the possibilities for it to be published.
Once the story is accepted, the author's contract will be finalized with all legal considerations such as: copyright, among others.
Immediately afterwards, the work is corrected for its edition, and finally the binding and printing.
