field reporting
News from outside
Field reporting is journalism conducted at the location where events are happening, rather than from a studio or newsroom.
A field reporter covers breaking news, disasters, protests, or other stories from the scene: We go now to our correspondent for field reporting from the hurricane zone.
The term emphasizes presence—being where the story unfolds rather than receiving information secondhand.
