A reporter is a type of journalist who researches and presents information in certain types of mass media.
Reporters gather their information in a variety of ways, including tips, press releases, and witnessing events. They perform research through interviews, public records, and other sources. The information-gathering part of the job is sometimes called "reporting" as distinct from the production part of the job, such as writing articles. Reporters generally split their time between working in a newsroom and going out to witness events or interview people.
Most reporters working for major news media outlets are assigned an area to focus on, called a beat or patch. They are encouraged to cultivate sources to improve their information gathering.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "사고 뉴스"처럼 명사를 바로 붙여서 말하지만, 영어에서 "accident news"는 부자연스럽습니다. 영어에서는 "a news story about ~" 또는 "a news report on ~"처럼 전치사구를 사용하여 뉴스의 내용을 설명합니다. 또한 news는 셀 수 없는 명사이므로 "a news"라고 하지 않고 "a news story" 또는 "a piece of news"라고 표현해야 합니다.
