Morphology

journalistic = journalist (transparent) = journalist + ic

Formed from the familiar noun 'journalist' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ic', so the meaning 'relating to journalists or journalism' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Journalistic comes from journal, a word that originally meant a 'daily' record, so think of a diary. That's why journalistic means 'relating to news and reporters'.
