Cub reporters are inexperienced journalists, typically young and new to the profession.
The term evokes someone learning the trade under seasoned editors, covering minor stories before graduating to significant assignments: The paper sent a cub reporter to cover the school board meeting.
Like other "cub" compounds, it suggests youth and inexperience without being dismissive.
