So you are going to say that the following is not a journalist. A
young person who inherits a lot of money so he does not need to work
can not be a journalist because that is not how he makes his living?
Or the independent correspondent who is not affiliated with any
recognized media source is not a journalist. Or the young person who
writes news stories and submits them to reputable places, but is not
regularly published, is not a journalist.

In my estimation a journalist is one who writes.

Hitler wrote. Was he a journalist?

So did Hemmingway. Was he a Journalist before he sold his first book?

Hemingway was a reporter for the _Kansas City Star_ before he wrote
books, so he was a journalist. Writing novels does not make one a
journalist. It made him a novelist.
