newspaperman

Works for dailies

A newspaperman is a man who works for a newspaper, especially as a reporter, editor, or journalist.

The term carries an old-fashioned ring, evoking an era of typewriters, press cards tucked into hatbands, and shouted deadlines: He was an old newspaperman who'd covered three wars.

The gender-neutral alternative is newspaper journalist or simply journalist.
