There is nothing in the law that would require said journalist to become a full-time employee. The said journalist could continue to produce content for as many publications as they like on a freelance basis. If they were to produce more than 35 in a year for one particular publication they would have to become a part time employee for that publication which would not have to limit their ability to still work freelance for other publications or if need be become a part time employee for another publication. If the journalist produced regular content regarding current fishing conditions they could offer the content as syndicated content to multiple publications and those would not fall under the 35 work limit.
