Allignment: Town
Ability: Just like the jailor can -jail when there's no lynch, the journalist can -interview NAME a person each night. His name would not be revealed. A mason / mafia would be excluded from their respective chats that night. The person can still use their abilities.

He probably has to use his ability during the day. Otherwise, someone could suddenly end being interviewed in the middle of typing a sentence. Also, I think his ability should kick in even if someone was lynched.

so basicly a jailor, minus the ability to kill or role block, this is a worthless role.

It is certainly more useful than Citizen. Overall effect seems to be invisible PM's, which doesn't seem that useless at all. He can clear himself up when the Sheriff once found, and allows for information gathering.

Unlike Jailor, the Journalist seems to be more interested to interact with town members, so he does not role-block them and he should be able to use his ability even if someone gets lynched.

I back this role up 90%.
