Assignment reporters note the dates in their calendars, cover the events and create reports to send to the editorial staff. They may also cover accidents, theft or crime-related news in their designated area. The decision of publishing or not publishing a reporter’s story lies with the editorial team. A sports reporter may cover sports-related news in their assigned location or cover prominent games and sports events across the country. Media companies may have exclusive reporters for each sport who can describe the game in detail. Sports reporters may also interview sports personalities and share behind-the-scenes details of important games.
