journalism (OED 1833)

1822 _City Gazette & Commercial Daily Advertiser_ (Charleston, S.C.) 8
June 2 (America's Historical Newspapers)  We speak hear only of the force
of fashion; of the influence still exerted across the Atlantic upon the
tasts, the habits and pursuits of Americans; of English extravagance, of
English journalism, and English empyricism.
