Journalists shouldn't have to be cyberopsec experts.

I disagree. Especially if they are covering geopolitical or highly monetised industrial topics.

They are basically spies working for the public. Spycraft shouldn't be optional for them.

Sure, a journalist covering celeb fluff doesn't need it, but one covering China, Russia, big pharma etc are automatically a target. This article is an excellent example.

I don't know about experts, but I don't think they can afford to think they can just install any old app... open emails, etc.

Defining "any old app" is a pretty nuanced decision nowadays.
