stringer
Horizontal support beam
A stringer is a journalist who works freelance for a news organization, typically covering a specific geographic area or beat without being on staff: The paper relies on stringers for international coverage.
In construction, a stringer is a long horizontal beam supporting a structure—the side pieces of a staircase that hold the treads, or structural members in bridges and aircraft.
In fishing, a stringer is a cord or chain threaded through the gills of caught fish to keep them in the water: He added another bass to the stringer.
