Morphology

editorialization = editorialize (transparent) = editor + ial + ize + ation

Formed by the regular derivational sequence editor -> editorial -> editorialize -> editorialization; the nominalized meaning 'the act/process of making something editorial' directly follows from the verb.

Etymology

The word editorialization comes from edit 'to change' and editor 'a person who prepares writing', with the ending -ization 'the act of making'. So editorialization can mean giving a text an editor's voice—adding personal opinion or bias instead of staying neutral.
