Beside the desk there are some staff reporters to cover up news from across the country. Actually they are stationed at inside newsroom to write down the stories, and go outside the office as per assignment by the Chief News Editor or Chief News Operator to cover up those stories. Munni Shaha is the Chief News Operator at ATN Bangla NCA department, who assigns the beat for the reporter. There are several newsbeats which are exposed like, Political, Care take Government, High court events, Commerce and Economy issues, X Prime Ministers affairs, Prime Minister Office’s (now Chief Adviser) affairs, Political party (Like BNP, AL beat), Secretariat issues, issues relating crime and so on. In most of the moment a reporter covers same beats for several times or as per the task he/she is given with. There are some special correspondents who are basically senior by experience and suitable for covering certain stories.
A previously assigned reporter goes to the field with a cameraman and he directs the cameraman to shoot the related pictures which matches to his story. Later than collecting the data, truth and in sequence, pictures, SYNC, VOX-POP, etc he/she is back to the station to organize his/her story within few words.
On the other hand a reporter has to remain the time limit in mind and spot to catch subsequently bulletins because incase of electronic media every seconds counts.
