news correspondents

On-location news gatherers

News correspondents are journalists who report from specific locations or on particular topics for news organizations.

A foreign correspondent covers international news from abroad; a war correspondent reports from conflict zones.

The term suggests someone stationed somewhere to send back dispatches: Our correspondent in Beijing has the latest on trade talks.
