National news refers to stories and events that have a national impact. This includes politics, economics and major disasters. Local news focuses on stories that affect a particular community or region. This can include local government, crime reports and human interest stories.

During the first quarter of 2025, a wildfire burned across parts of California and killed people. The Trump administration stepped up its immigration arrests. And 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, a new report reminds us that the lessons learned from the tragedy haven’t been completely heeded.

A correspondent is a journalist who reports from a foreign city, country or sometimes even an entire continent. A correspondent usually files regular reports to a news editor. They usually gather material for these stories from local officials, members of the community, other journalists and reporters in the area, and from events they personally witness.

News agencies prepare hard news and feature articles that can be used by other news organizations with little or no modification, and then they sell these stories in bulk via a wire service (originally using telegraphy). The bulk of the news provided by the major news agencies contains international news. When a reporter works for several different media outlets at once, they’re referred to as stringers.
