newshound
Aggressive press pursuer
A newshound is someone who avidly seeks out and consumes news, or a journalist who aggressively pursues stories.
The term combines news with hound in its sense of one who hunts or tracks persistently.
The old newshound had sources all over city hall.
It suggests tenacity and nose-to-the-ground determination, whether applied to professional reporters or to civilians who obsessively follow current events.
