'journalism' derives from the word journal evolving from late-Latin from the word 'diurnalis' meaning belonging to a day.

in the period between 5th-15th Century AD, the middle-ages of Europe, journals were books that listed the prayer times during the day.

In the 17th Century 'journal came to mean a private diary where one would write down the happenings of that particular day. by the 18th Century, (1700s) journal came to be known as a daily newspaper. It started to mean daily newspaper when the printing press was introduced - in Europe this was in 1440 in France by Johannes Gutenberg who perfected it in 1450. The current use of journalism comes from this meaning.
