journalist
Investigative story gatherer
A journalist is someone who gathers, writes, and reports news for newspapers, magazines, television, radio, or online publications.
The work involves investigating stories, interviewing sources, and presenting information to the public.
Several journalists were arrested while covering the protests.
Journalist implies professional standards of accuracy and ethics, though the line between journalists and other content creators has blurred in the digital age.
