[TYPO3] advice on running multiple domains in one base

no problem. You'll just have different branches for each domain. The 
domain records of TYPO3 then are to be created in the root page of each 
branch.

On you main page then you let TS generate a menu of the first page tree 
level which includes all those root pages of each department.

> We will have editors, revievers and publishers for every department.

Just use TYPO3 backend user administration to set up filemounts and DB 
mounts (so that a department's editor is restricted to the departments 
branch).

Easy task. Just use tt_news and set up categories / subcategories for 
your departments.

To set up your user rights properly you should have a look at:

- include access lists (user administration)
- page TS config
- user TS config
- access module


And use google or the online extension repository search to find 
extensions / manuals for all kinds purposes and wishes. :)
