beat reporters
Specialized news writers
Beat reporters are journalists assigned to cover a specific subject area or institution on an ongoing basis—crime, politics, education, city hall.
The beat is their territory, and they develop expertise and sources within it.
The paper's beat reporters knew the candidates better than their own campaign staff did.
