Answer 2

Reporters are SUPPOSED TO write information for news. They make the phone calls, go on interviews and conduct the research neccessary to write a story. The news is presented by a publisher when you're talking about a newspaper or magazine and an anchorman/host is the one who presents the news on TV shows.

Reporters purpose is to gather all the information and write a piece based on their findings. There are also media outlets that have researchers, interns and other staff members who contribute to finding specific sources for their articles.
