A gender-neutral term, used predominantly in Indian English, for any individual working in the media industry — journalists, reporters, broadcasters, or media professionals broadly. It functions as a handy alternative to 'journalist' when the exact role isn't known, or to 'newsman/newswoman' for those who prefer non-gendered language. In Indian journalism and public affairs, mediaperson is entirely standard and unremarkable.
The press conference was packed with every mediaperson in the city, all competing for a quote from the minister.
