Journalistisen

Journalistisen is the genitive singular form of the Finnish adjective journalistinen, meaning "journalistic" or "pertaining to journalism." In Finnish, adjectives decline to reflect the case and number of the noun they modify. The form journalistisen is used when the noun in the noun phrase is in the genitive case, or when a noun phrase contains a genitive construction. For example: journalistisen alan standardit (the standards of the journalism field); journalistisen etiikan periaatteet (principles of journalistic ethics); journalistisen työn laatu (the quality of journalistic work).

The base form journalistinen is used in nominative contexts, as in journalistinen ala, meaning "a journalistic field." The suffix -inen is a common way to form adjectives from nouns such as journalist(i) in Finnish. The term is primarily linguistic and appears in formal or academic discussions of Finnish grammar and journalism-related language. In everyday Finnish, speakers may instead phrase concepts with the noun journalismi (journalism) and other case forms, rather than creating new nouns from adjectives.
