Why is it masculine?
Periodista is masculine when referring to a male journalist, but it is actually a gender-invariant noun in Spanish. The word "periodista" refers to a journalist regardless of the person's gender (un periodista, una periodista). The suffix "-ista" creates agent nouns that are typically invariant for gender in modern Spanish, taking a single form used with both masculine and feminine articles and adjectives depending on the referent's gender. The word derives from "período" (period), but the gender of the base noun does not determine the grammatical gender classification of "-ista" agent nouns.
