Typically "x" is pronounced like an English "h" and "q" is pronounced like an English "k".

However, in many cases, Spanish-language names for places that were originally not named in Castilian (such as those named in Nahuatl -- Oaxaca, Mexico, or Catalan/Valencian -- Xixona), the "x" refers to the "sh" sound in English.

What is the meaning of the letters in the word reporter?

There is no meaning to any of the letters. Letters don't have meanings. The individual letters in a word don't mean anything. By themselves, they simply indicate what sound you're supposed to make. For example, the letter "s" indicates the s sound (which sounds like "ssssss") The letters in the English alphabet do not have meanings. Only the words that are made up of them do.
