Hi,

If you want to equate the words 'newspaper' and 'journal', the latter term tends, although certainly not always, to focus on a daily account or record. Thus, it might be more precise to focus on a 'daily newpaper'.

In English, "journal" is often used for a technical or sectorial publication, e.g. the British Medical Journal. Don't confuse the English with the French, where "journal" means precisely "newspaper".

I think he means "sectoral": for a sector, for an area of endeavor.
