A correspondent is a journalist or reporter employed by a media organization to cover and communicate news, commentary, or events from a designated geographic location, such as a foreign bureau, or on a specialized subject like politics, finance, or conflict zones. Correspondents perform functions including researching stories, conducting interviews with sources, verifying facts under deadlines, and delivering firsthand accounts often from remote or hazardous environments, which distinguish their role from general reporters stationed at headquarters. The term "correspondent" refers to the original practice of filing news reports via postal letter. The largest networks of correspondents belong to ARD (Germany) and BBC (UK).
