reported

Conveyed the news

Reported describes something that has been stated or conveyed by others, often without confirmation: the reported sighting of a UFO, reported earnings.

It signals information received secondhand—useful when accuracy is uncertain.

The verb report means to give an account of something: She reported the incident to police.

A reporter gathers and presents news.
