journalistic
Like a reporter
Journalistic describes things relating to journalism or characteristic of journalists and their work: journalistic ethics, journalistic standards, a journalistic investigation.
The word can suggest the style typical of news reporting—direct, factual, accessible to general readers.
Sometimes used dismissively to contrast with deeper scholarly or literary work: The book takes a journalistic rather than academic approach.
