An Intrepid Reporter is an investigative journalist who goes out and finds stories, rather than letting them come to them. Sometimes this seems to be the only kind of reporter used in fiction. A character's actual assignment might be something like "tell the readers who won the dog show," or "write a puff piece on our best advertiser," but something about the setup will inevitably spark a full-scale investigation. This kind of reporter is also known, in fiction, for getting far more involved in their stories than is usually recommended for real journalists. There might be a brief mention of "objectivity" or warning against "getting too emotionally involved," but if there's a Corrupt Corporate Executive to bring down, secret villainy to expose, or a Damsel in Distress to rescue, the intrepid reporter will be right in there taking an active hand. Sometimes the term "muckraker" is used for this kind of journalist. Expect occasional examples of Off the Record information, whether or not they violate their journalistic ethics and reveal it. Due to Hollywood Beauty Standards/Hired for Their Looks, this character also tends to be attractive In-Universe, and an object of desire for both the good and bad guys. Morally gray, and villainous adult examples may not be above offering Sex for Services. For the upstanding ones, part of their drive may be to prove that they're not just a Brainless Beauty that looks good on TV. Expect a lot of speeches about "the Truth", "Freedom of the Press" and "the People have a right to know." Despite this, they're typically troublemakers. After all, the lure of that big scoop can lead to rushing into danger, trying to expose secrets the protagonists would rather not have public, or even fudging the facts to make a juicier story. The teenage version of this is the School Newspaper News Hound. The Jerkass or Evil Counterpart is the Paparazzi, the Immoral Journalist (which is not necessarily the case for this reporter), or the Propaganda Machine churning out Public Relations Ads if it's a large organisation. If an intrepid reporter has no name, and/or is clearly snooping around somewhere they really shouldn't be, they are most likely Deadline News as well. A popular character in action movies and cop shows, as it's a good way to introduce a civilian who has a plausible reason for repeatedly being In Harm's Way. It's also a great superhero secret identity to collect facts about crimes to thwart or fudge the facts when someone wants to expose the masquerade. See also Da Editor and Going for the Big Scoop. Often wears a Press Hat. |

The late, great Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (AKA Raoul Duke), founder of a branch of journalism called "Gonzo", who not only went out to find the stories, he fucking MADE them, and included himself, the line between journalism and fiction was delightfully and psychedelically blended. Played particularly straight when he was sent to cover a motorcycle race and a police convention, and ended up with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He rode with the Hell's Angels for several months, got stomped by them after it became clear he wasn't a pet publicist who would lead them to a lot of money, and, despite his famous temper, still wrote a fair and compassionate, though not blindly sympathetic, account of his time with them. Another moment was his (satirical) claim that, judging from appearances, Edmund Muskie was on the South American hallucinogenic Ibogaine during the '72 election campaign. It got picked up and reported as real news, apparently by news organizations who hadn't gotten the word about Hunter yet... This actually caused some problems for Muskie, or at least an uncomfortable question or two from the press. | |

Shadow Unit: Solomon Todd (known as Duke to his colleagues) was this before he joined the FBI. It makes him really, really good at following paper trails and getting stories out of traumatised witnesses. It's probably not where he learnt the skills that make him the team's executioner, though. | |

Pirates SMP: At the start of the series, Eloise has the ambition to become a world-renowned journalist, and is willing to throw her previous life away and navigate her way into the ruthless world of piracy to get to the news herself. In doing so, she starts off claiming to have been a pirate all her life with a Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story, but ends up Becoming the Mask the longer she spends there, making friends and hunting treasure along the way. In her epilogue, after retiring from piracy, her risk ultimately pays off and wins her the headline titles she's always dreamed of. | |

H. Javin Aubergine, of Harbourmaster, is a professional muckraker, the government of Tethys' PR officer, and a good-natured pebble in everyone's shoe. He works as the 'loyal opposition' more often than not, because even an enlightened despotism needs an opposing voice. On the one occasion where he's installed as governor regent of the planet, he stages a protest against himself on general principles. But all that's perfectly normal for a reporter, until Tal's grandfather notes that Javin has been banned in, on and from several planets in the three Terran centuries he's been around. | |

We have two intrepid documentary filmmakers to thank for 9/11, whom upon seeing a major disaster was affecting New York City, kept following the firefighters they were filming, giving us the priceless only footage from inside the World Trade Center on 9/11. Many intrepid reporters covered the burning towers. It's actually quite a miracle that only one intrepid reporter actually died covering it - Bill Biggart. The other reporter to die as a result of 9/11 was Thomas Pecorelli, a freelance Photojournalist who, unfortunately, was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 11, which kicked the whole event off, so he likely didn't even know just how big a story he was caught up in. | |

The Adventures of Superman paid only lip-service to Clark Kent's "mild-mannered" description—especially in the early years, when Superman operated mostly as an urban legend, and it was Clark Kent who investigated all the stories. (This portrayal of Clark as a confident, assertive journalist carried over into the George Reeves television series.) When World War II broke out, Clark even became an agent of the federal government on the side. Jimmy Olsen (see comics) was originally created for the radio show. |

Lenny Leonard is the most consistent example across the WWN Family(main members FIP, EVOLVE, Shine, as well as predecessors Ring of Honor and SHIMMER), once lamenting that the locker room was a lot less interesting when it wasn't as full of wrestlers hostile to him. Others include Steve Corino (as a wrestler, he can be expected to take care of himself but it still takes stones to confront 3/4ths of Bullet Club alone), and Amber Gertner, but the best examples may be Rob Naylor and Kid Cadet, for whom running from aggravated wrestlers was a Running Gag. But no matter how many times they were chased off they never gave up. | |

Mystery Show's Starlee Kine is sort of an example, in that she'll stop at nothing to solve the Mystery of the Week and share the story. In one episode, she gets an assist from a straighter example, an investigative reporter who has a Friend on the Force. | |

Agent Scott in Dino Attack RPG showed up after the battle to interview its participants, probably arriving sometime before it was over given he was there to report the moment victory was announced. Parodies humorously later on when Lotta Brix, J. Theano, and Seymour Brickstein from official LEGO Canon also show up, and the four reporters end up getting distracted bickering over who gets the story. | |

Ace Attorney: Spark Brushel in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Lotta Hart from the Phoenix Wright set, though she's more of an amateur photographer than an intrepid reporter. She works for an occult magazine, later changing to celebrity photography after getting too scared. A freelance vigilante example is the Yatagarasu from Ace Attorney Investigations, a master thief who specializes in stealing evidence of corrupt business dealings and sending them to the media rather than the police. Investigations 2 gives us Nicole Swift, who manages to get herself wrapped up in a staged assassination attempt on the president of Zheng Fa, set up by said president and his bodyguard Knightley to raise his popularity ratings. Nicole is promised an interview with the president in exchange for pretending to be a sniper, never knowing she was actually meant to take the fall for the murder of uninvolved bodyguard Ethan Rooke, which was orchestrated by Knightley himself because he was jealous of Rooke's superior status. Unsurprisingly given the way she acts and talks, Nicole was mentored by Lotta Hart, and the two meet up towards the end of the game to investigate another "scoop" together. Raiten Menimemo from The Great Ace Attorney. |

Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues: Rhys is a high school variant, being an aspiring writer who works for the school's newspaper. He first gets involved with the plot when he sights the other students acting suspiciously and follows along behind them, determined to get to the bottom of events relating to his newfound superpowers. Minor character Esther Byun is an investigative journalist who first appears in the story while looking into the disappearances of some of the superpowered kids. Her prying into affairs isn't well-received by Hyeon, who calls her a parasite and ignores her plea for information. |

Literally the name of a Human class in Bleak World what they lack in combat skills, they more than make up for in cunning and resourcefulness. Their job in an adventuring party will likely be the face or The Team Benefactor seeing as how they have boosts to their Persona and Funding skills. | |

In Quantum Vibe Claud Southend initially seems to be just some nosy reporter from Luna. But then he goes to great lengths, even risking his own life, to uncover a conspiracy against Nicole. | |
