live reporter
On-scene news broadcaster
A live reporter is a journalist who broadcasts from a location in real time, delivering news as events unfold rather than from a studio or via recorded segments.
The term emphasizes immediacy—the reporter appears on screen at the scene: We go now to our live reporter outside the courthouse.
Distinguished from anchors who remain in-studio.
