Joy! I love the "Quote Dictionaries to Prove My Point Game."
You should look up "news" next. It's got words like "important" and "noteworthy." Those mean that games "journalism," when held up to real journalism (like I dunno the Pentagon Papers) don't reasonably qualify as journalism at all. Which was my point.
Feel free to look up "important" and "noteworthy" as well, if you're having trouble.
