News gathering involves various tools and personnel to collect and report news. Key personnel include reporters who cover events and interview sources, district correspondents who cover a wider area through local networks, story writers who craft news stories, and cameramen who cover visual aspects of news. Important tools are cameras, cell phones, satellite vans for live coverage from remote areas, and wire services for text and visual news feeds from international agencies. Sources of news include monitoring agencies, organizations, government departments, events, and a network of local sources.
