newspapermen
Journalists covering stories
Newspapermen is the plural of newspaperman, a somewhat dated term for a male journalist, reporter, editor, or other person employed in the newspaper industry.
The word carries a mid-twentieth-century flavor, evoking an era of print journalism dominated by men in fedoras chasing scoops.
The newspapermen gathered outside city hall waiting for the mayor's statement.
The gender-neutral alternatives journalist or reporter have largely replaced it in contemporary usage.
