Which term describes a journalist who produces their own video content in the field?

• A. Video Journalist
• B. Tracker
• C. Field Reporter
• D. Cameraman

Answer: (A)

A video journalist is the person who both shoots the footage and reports the story in the field. This role combines videography with on-camera reporting, so one person handles capturing images, interviewing, and delivering the final piece. That makes it the best label for someone who produces their own video content on location.

The other terms don’t fit as well: a cameraman focuses on operating the camera, not necessarily reporting the story or writing and presenting it. A field reporter is in the field and reports, but may rely on others to provide the video; a tracker isn’t a standard broadcast job title. So the term that inherently covers both producing the video and delivering the report is the video journalist.
