Create a list of file names that match your criteria:

import os

path_name = 'your_directory'
key = 'journal'

nameList = [os.path.join(path_name, n) for n in os.listdir(path_name) \
            if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path_name, n)) and n.startswith(key)]

import shutil,glob,os
os.chdir("wherefileis")
for FILE in glob.glob("journal*"):
     shutil.copy(FILE, "someotherdir")
