The role of a reporter (the term implies news reporter) is to report news. Now the term news has not yet been fully defined. Academics do try to explain in various ways. A news reporter follows his gut feeling, or works on the chief reporter's advice. Besides, we have some news elements like proximity, timeliness, human interest to help journalists to smell news. Back to the question, a reporter's job is to essentially report NEWS. It involves two steps: To collect information (from all possible sources) and then yo write down the story in a journalistic style. (Remember you are writing for a reader/listener/viewer/surfer.) Reporters have beats: special areas like education, civic affairs, political, governmetn and the stepping stone --- the crime beat, a vast area that encompasses police, courts, hospitals, airport, economic offences wing like sales tax, income tax, customs and excise departments, and now cyber crime. --- ukstranger.com (Wikipedia id: ukstranger)

∙ 9y agoThe following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the work of journalists.
The work of news analysts, reporters, and correspondents is usually hectic. They are under great pressure to meet deadlines. Broadcasts sometimes are aired with little or no time for preparation. Some news analysts, reporters, and correspondents work in comfortable, private offices; others work in large rooms filled with the sound of keyboards and computer printers, as well as the voices of other reporters. Curious onlookers, police, or other emergency workers can distract those reporting from the scene for radio and television. Covering wars, political uprisings, fires, floods, and similar events is often dangerous.
Working hours vary. Reporters on morning papers often work from late afternoon until midnight. Radio and television reporters usually are assigned to a day or evening shift. Magazine reporters usually work during the day.
Reporters sometimes have to change their work hours to meet a deadline or to follow late-breaking developments. Their work demands long hours, irregular schedules, and some travel. Because many stations and networks are on the air 24 hours a day, newscasters can expect to work unusual hours.
