As I said, and your screenshot shows, in english the word is "journalist".
It is rather insulting in the english language to say things like "female journalist" or "lady doctor".
Just because you language has unnecessarily gendered nouns doesn't mean it's correct.
must be easy to be the center of the universe from where you think only your norms are "correct"
bye. blocked you after taking a look at your comment history
I speak English, and female journalist is 100% inoffensive in this context imho.
You sound male. Ask the women in your life if they would appreciate you referring to them as a "female their job title".

The women in my lives don't speak english as first languages, idiot.
Ask the women in your life if they'd like to get shot while on duty.
Well, I certainly didn't like you stereotyping me based on how my writing "sounds". In this context, I feel like mentioning the reporters gender is relevant because of the sexist culture in some parts of the middle east.
Its relevant because its considered outragous to kill women its not relevant to her profession but rather her status as a murder victim
