Etymology: "Journalisms" is simply the plural of "journalism," so it names several distinct bodies of journalistic practice rather than a single field. The base word came into English from French "journalisme," which appeared at the beginning of the 19th century, and it is built from "journal" with the suffix "-ism." The "journal" part comes from Old French "journal," meaning daily, and ultimately from Latin "diurnalis," relating to a day, which is also where the idea of a daily record or newspaper originates.

Synonyms: reporting, news writing
