news report
Journalist's filed story
A news report is a factual account of current events, typically presented through journalism.
The term applies across media—print, broadcast, or online: The news report covered the earthquake's aftermath.
News reports aim for objectivity, distinguishing them from opinion pieces or editorials.
A reporter files news reports; an anchor delivers them.
