	Journalese and journalism
		Neither clichés nor jargon, journalese is the peculiar language that newspapers have evolved for talking to readers.
		Journalese is not jargon because it is neither specialized nor technical.
		Part of journalese is in the words; part is in the construction.

	Journalese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Journalese is the artificial or hyperbolic language regarded as characteristic of the popular media.

	CJR - Do You Speak Journalese?, by John Leo
		Cunningly similar to English, Journalese is the official language of American reporters and pundits, most of whom achieve fluency in this arcane tongue toward the end of their first full hour in any newsroom.
		Nonhyphenated phrases for the deeply irate are currently in fashion: "he is not a happy camper" or "he is having a bad hair day." According to a database search, "happy camper" peaked in 1993 and is well behind "bad hair day" in the 1994 sweepstakes.
		Journalese allows only four adjectives to modify the nouns house and home: "stately" (big and impressive), "sprawling" (big and unimpressive), "modest" (nondescript), and "charming" (nice, but alarmingly small).

	The Quill: Journalese: annoying practice falls short of clarity, communication.@ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Journalese can be very annoying to readers since it often gets in the way of clear communication.
		Unfortunately, many writers resort to it since they mistakenly believe that it conveys a sense of knowledgeability, ignoring the fact that many readers consider the use of journalese to be the mark of bad journalism.
		The best way for writers to avoid the journalese trap would be to express ideas clearly in simple, jargon-free, everyday language.

	BBC Training & Development > Clichés and journalese
		Journalese is a specialist form of cliché writing.
		Such generic, unspecific descriptions in journalese remove all the pith from language.
		Today on BBC Breakfast (BBC 1) in an article about the differences between British and French business, a French interviewee said the wonderfully simple "Je pense que l'Europe est une bonne chose," which was translated to the painfully cliché "a force for good".

		The conventions, or style of writing, adopted in technical writing or journalese or copywriting in the advertising world, are transparent to the users.
		Technical writing (or journalese or copy-writing) involves this asymmetry, wherein ordinary language is used in a special way to appeal to the reader and convey the meaning more efficiently.
		One important difference between technical writing and journalese is the difference in the level of the reader’s interest.

	Geoffrey Nunberg - on journalese
		It isn't really a word of American English at all -- it belongs to the patois of that exotic alter-America that we read about in the newspapers, a world populated by strongmen, fugitive financiers, and troubled teens, where ire is always being fueled until violence flares, spawning hatred and stirring fears until hopes are dashed.
		In fact the only place other than newspapers where you routinely run into verbs like roil is in gothic romances and especially pornography, where synonyms for "churn" are always in high demand.
		Editors are always deploring the excesses of journalese, but for every embellishment they manage to discourage, three new ones spring up in its place.
