correspondents

Foreign news journalists

Correspondents is the plural of correspondent—someone who exchanges letters or messages with another, or a journalist reporting from a particular location.

A pen pal is a correspondent in the first sense.

News organizations station foreign correspondents in major cities, and war correspondents report from conflict zones.

The word implies ongoing communication from a distance.
