Reporters are integral to journalistic practices. Reporters can work for print media, visual media and online media platforms. Each of these domains may have several reporters specialising in specific fields like politics, crime, finance, trade, commerce, international events, foreign affairs, sports, weather and entertainment. Editors of news channels, newspapers or online portals assign reporters to specific locations to identify newsworthy stories or to cover scheduled events. They share details of scheduled events with the reporters in advance. These could be government events, court activities, campaigns, news conferences, community events, celebrity events or any significant event in the geographic area.
