special correspondent
Deployed news writer
A special correspondent is a journalist assigned to cover a particular subject, region, or major story, typically with expertise in that area.
Unlike general reporters, special correspondents focus on specialized beats—foreign affairs, war zones, political campaigns—and often file reports from locations outside the main newsroom.
The network sent its special correspondent to cover the conflict.
The title implies both expertise and dedicated assignment to significant ongoing coverage.
