journalist who writes a regular column
A writer who prepares the same kind of article again and again for a newspaper, magazine, or website, often sharing their own opinions.
Vzorec užití:
a columnist for [a newspaper/website]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "columnist" with "journalist" or "reporter." All columnists are journalists, but not all journalists are columnists. A columnist usually writes a regular opinion or analysis piece, while a reporter mainly reports facts and news events. Learners also sometimes misspell it as "colonist," which is a completely different word meaning someone who lives in a colony.
