No, that’s not a typo in the headline. The spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. I use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias.

Publisher Elizabeth ‘Lisa’ Hughes vowed to make what I have frequently called The Philadelphia Enquirer[1]RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, probably by mistake, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I thought it very apt. an “anti-racist news organization,” and how it has led the newspaper to delete racial references to criminals, and, shazamm!, they’ve done it again.
Police say killing of recent Temple grad was ‘completely unprovoked,’ not a robbery
“Mr. Beauregard’s life was cut short by this horrific act of violence and for no apparent reason whatsoever,” said Homicide Capt. Jason Smith.

Philadelphia police said Friday they now believe the fatal shooting of a 23-year-old in West Philadelphia was “completely unprovoked,” and that the shooter did not interact with the victim before firing at his back.
“This was not a robbery attempt as we initially believed,” said Homicide Capt. Jason Smith.
Everett Beauregard had just exited a train at the 34th and Market SEPTA station around 12:30 a.m. Thursday, and was walking home after spending time with friends in South Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, police say, surveillance video shows a young man, with a gun concealed in his hoodie, had been walking around the area, near the 400 block of North 35th Street, for about an hour.
Video shows Beauregard walking past the suspect, who then suddenly turns around and fires multiple times at Beauregard’s back, striking him once in the back of the neck.
Beauregard fell to the ground, and the suspect ran away, firing one more shot as he fled.
Of course, the Philadelphia Police Department did not describe the killer as a “young man” in the surveillance video, but as “a thin built Black male”. Everyone in the city will automatically suspect that the killer is black, so it would not have hurt the Inquirer to give the actual description, even though it’s part of the video which they did link. Let’s tell the truth here: the stereotype of criminals being black is so strong in the City of Brotherly Love that the newspaper not giving the race of criminal suspects simply reinforces it.
The Inky tweeted, and Editor and Senior Vice President Gabriel Escobar said:
It’s official! We’ve got a new look ✨
But from our first edition on June 1, 1829, to The Philadelphia Inquirer you see today, our mission of providing essential local journalism has remained unchanged.
Apparently “essential local journalism” means censored local journalism! Why is telling the truth so hard?

Yet another murder, and once again, the Inquirer scrubs the victim’s reported race:
