local reporter
Community news writer
A local reporter covers news for a specific geographic area—a city, county, or region—rather than national or international stories.
They work for local newspapers, TV stations, or radio, reporting on city council meetings, school boards, crime, and community events.
The local reporter broke the story about contaminated water.
The term emphasizes both the geographic scope and the grassroots nature of the journalism.
