Journalistiske

Journalistiske is a Norwegian adjective meaning relating to journalism or characteristic of journalism. It is used to describe things connected with the practice, ethics, or style of journalism, such as texts, methods, or principles.

Etymology and form: journalistiske is derived from journalistikk (journalism) with the adjectival suffix -isk, producing journalistisk in its base form. The -e ending appears in certain inflected contexts, such as before plural nouns or in specific definite forms, for example journalistiske tekster (journalistic texts) or journalistiske prinsipper (journalistic principles). As with other Norwegian adjectives, journalistiske agrees with the noun it modifies in number and definiteness.

Usage: The term is common in media studies, journalism critique, and discussions of news reporting, media ethics, and press standards. It can describe the tone, style, or approach of reporting, as in journalistic objectivity, investigative journalism, or a journalistisk tilnærming (journalistic approach). In everyday language, it often contrasts with terms like redaksjonell (editorial) or informativ, depending on the nuance being expressed.

Relation to journalism as a field: journalistiske is closely tied to the concepts and practices of journalism without referring to the profession in a personal sense. It is used to characterize content, methods, or standards that are considered typical of journalistic work.

See also: journalistikk, journalist, journalistisk, redaksjonell, etikk i journalistikk. These terms appear together in discussions about how news is gathered, reported, and presented, as well as how standards are maintained in the media.
