roving reporter
Traveling news correspondent
A roving reporter is a journalist who travels to cover stories in different locations rather than working from a fixed beat or desk.
The term emphasizes mobility and on-the-ground reporting: Our roving reporter is live from the scene.
In broadcast media, roving reporters often appear in lighter segments—interviewing people on the street or covering local events.
