On television and in print, journalists uncover facts to report the news as objectively as possible. Reporters, correspondents, and broadcast news analysts inform the public about events and news occurring internationally, nationally, and locally. The work is often fast-paced to meet deadlines or be the first to break news. Multimedia skills are increasingly in demand so that journalists can add audio, video, and graphics to adapt stories for different platforms including newspapers, magazines, television, live radio, websites, podcasts, and social media. Some reporters freelance, covering individual stories for a fee or marketing their own stories to news organizations.
