A journalist investigates, gathers, and reports news and information to the public through various media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and online platforms. Journalists inform the public about current events, issues, and developments, serving as watchdogs of government and institutions and facilitating democratic discourse. Journalism encompasses a wide range of roles and specialties, including reporters, correspondents, editors, photojournalists, and investigative journalists, each with their own responsibilities and areas of expertise. Journalists may cover local, national, or international news, politics, business, sports, entertainment, culture, science, health, or other topics, depending on their beat or assignment.
