Noun

journalese ‎(countable and uncountable, plural journaleses)

1. A style of writing used in some newspapers and magazines, characterized by cliché, hyperbolic language and clipped syntax.
   • Joe Grimm, Detroit Free Press:

     We write journalese out of habit, sometimes from misguided training, and to sound urgent, authoritative and, well, journalistic. But it doesn't do any of that.
