- 1920, Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, London: Pan Books, published 1954, page 126:
  “There’s this terrible business to start with. Scotland Yard men in and out of the house like a jack-in-the-box! Never know where they won’t turn up next. Screaming headlines in every paper in the country—damn all journalists, I say!”
A reporter, someone who professionally reports on news and current events.
- 2013 August 10, Lexington, “Keeping the mighty honest”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8848:
  British journalists shun complete respectability, feeling a duty to be ready to savage the mighty, or rummage through their bins. Elsewhere in Europe, government contracts and subsidies ensure that press barons will only defy the mighty so far.
- 2019, Shohret Hoshur, Joshua Lipes, “At Least 150 Detainees Have Died in One Xinjiang Internment Camp: Police Officer”, in Mamatjan Juma, transl., Radio Free Asia‎:
  A staff member of the Kuchar County Judiciary told RFA that he did not have the authority “to answer political questions of this magnitude,” when asked whether 150 people had died in No. 1 Camp, and whether the number included any government officials or other employees.
  “We have a county-wide directive—firstly, to never provide answers to pretend journalists, and secondly, to never take phone calls of unknown origin,” he said.
