journal

mid-14c., "book of church services," from Anglo-French jurnal "a day," from Old French jornel, "day, time; day's work," noun use of adjective meaning "daily," from Late Latin diurnalis "daily" (see diurnal). Meaning "book for inventories and daily accounts" is late 15c.; that of "personal diary" is c.1600, from a sense found in French. Meaning "daily publication" is from 1728. Initial -d- in Latin usually remains in French, but according to Brachet, when it is followed by an -iu-, the -i- becomes consonantized as a -j- "and eventually ejects the d." He also cites jusque from de-usque.

  • a daily record of events or business; a private journal is usually referred to as a diary
  • a newspaper or other periodical, in the literal sense of one published each day
  • many publications issued at stated intervals, such as academic journals (including scientific journals), or the record of the transactions of a society, are often called journals. In academic use, a journal refers to a serious, scholarly publication that is peer-reviewed. A non-scholarly magazine written for an educated audience about an industry or an area of professional activity is usually called a trade magazine.

The word " journalist", for one whose business is writing for the public press and nowadays also other media, has been in use since the end of the 17th century.

The Journal was a news programme on DW broadcast from its studios in Berlin, Germany. It is broadcast every day, usually on the hour, and is available in English, German, Spanish and Arabic. DW now has separate 'channels' - DW Europe (broadcasting 18 hours of programmes in English and two three-hour segments in German at 0800-1100 GMT and 2000-2300 GMT), DW Amerika (broadcasting 20 hours in German and 4 in English), DW Latinoamérica (24-hour Spanish-language programming), DW Asien (24 hours of German), DW Arabia (7 hours of English, 17 hours of Arabic) and DW (24 hours in English). These are broadcast via satellites to different parts of the world, but all these channels can be viewed via the media centre on DW's website and are often relayed via local broadcasters/channels.

The Journal was first broadcast in 1992 when DW was known as RIAS TV. Major rebrands of the Journal took place in 1999, 2002 and 2006.
