news cameraman

Television footage shooter

A news cameraman is a person who operates a video camera for television news, capturing footage of events, interviews, and breaking stories.

The term often implies working in the field rather than a studio: The news cameraman dodged debris to get the shot.

Cameraperson or camera operator are gender-neutral alternatives increasingly used in the industry.
