Noun

journalist (plural journalists)

(originally) The keeper of a personal journal, who writes in it regularly.
One whose occupation is journalism, originally only writing in the printed press.
A reporter, who professionally does living reporting on news and current events.
- 2013 August 10, Lexington, “Keeping the mighty honest”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8848:
  British journalists shun complete respectability, feeling a duty to be ready to savage the mighty, or rummage through their bins. Elsewhere in Europe, government contracts and subsidies ensure that press barons will only defy the mighty so far.
