    The only thing to add to @TheFreshestHell's explanation is to be boug you have to own capital. Petit just means they don't own much (think small business owners and smalltime landlords here).

    Journalists rarely own capital. Hell at this point they're barely labor aristocracy.

    The rare individual cases where a journalist is bourgeoisie, it's almost certainly gentleman farmer-type situation (they don't need the wage) and there's nothing petit about them.

      I mean, every podcaster this site stans, even Adam Johnson, is petite boug. The irony of a thoroughly-privatized media industry owned by neoliberals is that you need to have your own operation to create content that advocates socialism.
