And maybe anyone who works in any particular line of work could be just about described as ‘expert’ in that.

Just because you charge a lot of interest doesn’t make you an expert on money. Also, “newspaper staff” for press didn’t seem quite right, since press normally refers to the newspapers themselves, although I suppose you could think of it as all the people who work for newspapers.
