Ladies and gentlemanof the press

The people in charge of newspaper content are editors. The people who write for them are journalists, sometimes referred to informally as journos or insultingly as hacks. Someone who writes articles that appear regularly, usually in the same place in the paper, and often with powerfully expressed opinions, is a columnist.

The British national press is referred to as Fleet Street, although no national paper is now produced in this London street.
