About "Foreign correspondent"
A 'Foreign Correspondent' is a journalist who reports on news from a
country other than their own, typically stationed abroad to cover international events. The role gained
prominence during the 19th century as newspapers expanded their global coverage. According to the Columbia
Journalism Review, foreign correspondents play a crucial role in international understanding and diplomacy
by providing firsthand accounts of world events. The profession has evolved significantly with digital
technology, though the core mission remains unchanged: to bridge cultural and geographical gaps through
accurate, on-the-ground reporting that helps audiences understand complex global issues. Sources: Columbia Journalism Review, Reuters
