Journalism

Journalism is activity or profession of being a journalist, a person who writes for newspapers or magazines or prepares news or features to be broadcast on radio or television. They gather information from national satellite weather services, wire services, and local and regional weather bureaus 

In a broadcast system journalists or reporters are also involved with editing the video material that has been shot alongside their research, and in working on the visual narrative of the story. Broadcast journalists often make an appearance in the news story at the beginning or end of the video clip.

Newscasters function at large stations and networks that usually specialize in a particular type of news, such as sports or weather. Weathercasters, also called weather reporters, report current and forecast weather conditions. This may include interviews with sports personalities and coverage of games and other sporting events.

Some weathercasters are trained meteorologists and develop their own weather forecasts. Sportscasters select, write, and deliver sports news. Science journalism is a relatively new branch of journalism, in which journalists' reporting conveys information on science topics to the public.
