NEWS ROOM

A newsroom is the central place where journalists—reporters, editors, and producers, along with other staffs—work to gather news to be published in a newspaperand/or an online newspaper or magazine, or broadcast on radio, television, or cable.

NEWS ROOM
One of the traditional mass communications is the presence of a large number of gatekeepers. This fact
is seen in gathering and reporting of news for conventional print and broadcast media.
Reporting is a team effort and quite a few members of the team serve as gatekeepers. Online reporting
in contrast may have only one or a few gatekeepers.
There are two main sources of news; staff reports and the wire services. Other less important sources
include feature syndicates as well as handouts and releases from various public and private sources.
The City Editor is the captain of the news reporting team. He or she assigns stories to the reporters and
supervises their work.
There are two types of reporters:
· Beat Reporters
Cover some topics on regular basis, such as crime beat or health beat.
·
General assignment reporters
Cover what ever assignment is given to them or come up
