Examples of reporter in a Sentence

1. Danielle McLean:

   You're not changing the integrity of the story in any way. You're not changing any of the facts, if anything, you're bringing more transparency to those old stories because if somebody looked those up and wanted to reach out to the reporter, they wouldn't be able to find that reporter because that reporter wouldn't exist anymore.

2. David Carr:

   I was taught when I was a young reporter that it's news when we say it is. I think that's still true -- it's news when 'we' say it is. It's just who 'we' is has changed. Members of the public, people with modems, people with cell phones are now producers, editors. They can push and push and push on a story until it ends up being acknowledged by everyone.

3. Martha Steffens:

   No one’s ever really won by threatening a reporter, attack back with facts, not with a personal vendetta, because a CEO is changing the story by attacking the reporter. He’s making it personal and taking the focus off of the company.

4. Tina Calder:

   I met Lyra many years ago as a young, determined and ambitious budding reporter, her tenacity, determination, ambition and empathy made her an amazing young reporter and investigative writer... For years she tirelessly pursued the truth.

5. John Demers:

   We have to have an evidentiary basis to say, when you act, would-be-reporter, you're actually acting at the direction of your government and you don't have an independent journalistic ethos that we think of when we look at a reporter, in fact, not labeling you as a foreign agent is misleading because you're presenting yourself to the American people as somebody who's independent and thinking your own thoughts but you're not, you're getting your thoughts from a foreign government.
