Why is it masculine?

Giornali is masculine because it derives from the Latin "diurnalis" (adjective meaning "daily"). In Italian, when Latin adjectives ending in "-alis" are nominalized, they typically become nouns ending in "-ale". The masculine gender is retained from the Latin masculine form, as "giornale" follows the pattern of Italian masculine nouns ending in "-ale" (e.g., "ospedale", "capitale", "animale").
