A journalist who specializes in reporting on world news is called a “correspondent.” These reporters live and work in a foreign city and regularly file articles to their newspaper or other news source. They usually stay in contact with local officials and sources to ensure they have the most up-to-date information possible about their topic. A news agency typically prepares hard and soft news stories that are sold to a variety of different newspapers, radio and television stations. Individuals, companies and intelligence agencies may also subscribe to news services.
