General note

For the sake of readability, we have refrained from using gender-neutral language (masculine, feminine, and diverse). All personal designations apply equally to all genders. For example, when the terms 'journalist' or 'journalists' are used, they naturally also include female journalists.

This consistent writing style is explicitly intended to be inclusive of all genders. This linguistic compromise is meant to facilitate understanding of the text and is not intended to be judgmental.
