giornalistici

Giornalistici is the masculine plural form of the Italian adjective giornalistico, meaning relating to journalism or to journalists. It is used to modify nouns and agrees in gender and number with the noun it accompanies (for example, contenuti giornalistici, stile giornalistico, pratiche giornalistiche).

Etymology and forms: the term derives from giornale and giornalismo, through the adjective-forming suffix -istico, with the gendered and plural variations giornalistico (m. sing.), giornalistica (f. sing.), giornalistici (m. pl.), and giornalistiche (f. pl.). It is distinct from the noun giornalista (journalist).

Usage and context: giornalistici describes aspects connected to the field of journalism or to journalistic work. It appears in discussions of content, practices, standards, and styles, such as standard giornalistici, etica giornalistica, linguaggio giornalistico, or invest igazioni giornalistiche. The term can modify a wide range of expressions, from the technical language of reporting to the ethical and professional dimensions of media work.

Distinctions: giornalistici should not be confused with giornalisti, the plural noun for journalists. While giornalistici characterizes elements of journalism, giornalisti denotes the people who perform the profession.
