The result was merge to Journalism. Sandstein 17:12, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This article has no purpose, references or factual basis. Moreover, if it were brought up to any standard it would merely duplicate Journalism or Journalist. It takes as its apparent raison d'etre the idea that professional journalism is a form of news reporting (which it isn't, generally news reporting is an aspect of journalism, usually professional), that it started in the 20th century (no, more like the 18th century, if not in ancient China), in the United States (no, probably Europe). I think it has been put together without any real knowledge of the topic, and no references are given for any of the assertions made. I can find no articles for "professional tennis", "professional golf", "professional teaching" etc. IMO, this article was a bad idea from the start.
