Maybe my protest is more against eye-grabbing-headlines than connotation...

Now that you've put it that way, the word journalist might be too broad in its definition. I think there are good and bad journalists with different positive skill sets.

I wrote the blog post after seeing too many scientific topics where journalists were inaccurate. This doesn't represent all journalists.

I think photo and video journalists do a particularly good job of news casting. Sometimes their content becomes described inaccurately. The napalm girl photo of Vietnam is a good example of this.

Thanks for the comment. Just checked out the book.
