How is this category defined?[edit]
This question is about the Category:American journalists by ethnic or national origin.
That Category may need an explanatory header to define what it is for, specifically who it is for?
At the root of the apparent problem is the ambiguity represented in this question,
What is this category for,
for people born in the U.S. (or, of course, born abroad but to American parents) who are not of anglo-saxons origin but who practice journalism in the US ("America"),
OR
is it for people born anywhere in the world to parents other than American anglo parents but who practice journalism in the US ("America")?
That is, how is "American" (in "American journalists" in the title), being used there, it is intended to define the nationality of the journalist listed or the job they are performing? Specifically, is "American" being used to group people who are American citizens or is it being used to group people practicing journalism in America (i.e., in the US)?
For example, José Díaz-Balart is on the list, so it can be assumed he is on the list because he is of Latino descent (i.e., ethnicity) but born in the US, which would make him an American by birth (thus, he is an "American journalist" based on being born in America), but Jorge Ramos is also on this list so it can (confusingly) be assumed he is in the list because although he is a Latino not born in the US, his practicing journalism in America makes him an "American journalist".
