Hi, I was wondering, is cyber-journalism one word or two words? I need to know because I'm writing a lead about this career and it's hard. Thank you!
I wouldn't add a hypen (yet). It is new in usage, but the prefix cyber is being in common usage worldwide. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_words_prefixed_with_cyber-
So go with cyberjournalist, for now, and my bet in ten years it will be in the unabridged dictionaries.
Since you're hyphenating it as you are, it's considered one word, a noun.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Hi! The term "cyber-journalism" can be written either as one word or as two words, depending on the style guide or convention you are following. Since there is no standardization across all sources, it can vary.
To find the most commonly used style, I recommend doing a search on reputable news websites or academic databases. Look for articles, research papers, or other sources that discuss cyber-journalism and see how they have written the term. By observing the style used by professionals in the field, you can determine whether it is typically written as one word or two words.
Remember, it's important to maintain consistency within your own writing. If you choose to write "cyber-journalism" as one word in your lead, make sure to consistently use that format throughout your entire piece.
