print journalism

News on paper

Print journalism is news reporting and writing produced for physical publication—newspapers, magazines, and periodicals—as distinguished from broadcast or digital media.

The term gained currency as online journalism expanded, creating the need to specify the traditional medium: She made her name in print journalism before moving to television.

Print journalism emphasizes longer-form reporting and editorial standards associated with legacy publications.
