I don't see why it shouldn't. Claiming Top Gear is completely devoid of any journalistic content is absurd, and the fact that it is presented by three journalists drives this home. Being on is Wikipedia is irrelevant, the point is they are all journalists and widely accepted and labeled as such.

That they are journalists elsewhere is utterly irrelevant, also they would more properly be called columnists these days rather than journalists as their work in print now is usually opinion based and presented as such. Even wikipedia splits up James May's journalistic career and his Top Gear presenting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_May#Journalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_May#Journalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_May#Radio_and_television https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_May#Radio_and_television There's virtually no mention of journalism on Richard Hammond's page (and no evidence that he actually is one). Jeremy Clarkson was a journalist for actual papers before he started presenting Top Gear.
