It's not symmetrical like that. Journalists report on data based phenomena all the time, so understanding statistics is a fairly useful skill.
Programmers don't typically have to do journalism. They do have to write, but writing =/= journalism. If we're talking about writing classes for programmers, personally I don't think there's anything special about the programmer use case, as opposed to "writing in professional contexts" in general.
