Morphology
The meaning is directly composed from 'broadcast' (relating to radio/television transmission) modifying 'journalist' (a news reporter), so a learner who knows both words can infer a journalist who works for radio or TV. This is a straightforward noun-modifier composition common across languages and follows normal English patterns, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Broadcast journalist The term broadcast journalist comes from a farming idea: broadcast meant to scatter seeds far and wide and journalist means a news reporter, so picture someone scattering news to many people. That's why a broadcast journalist 'sends out' news on radio or television.
