An Intrepid Reporter or other type of storyteller is looking for something sensational. He overhears a conversation, or bumps into the heroes, and decides to join them, either to tell their adventures or to use them as his bodyguards to learn more about the Big Bad, the Artifact of Doom or The Conspiracy. A subtrope of the more general Tagalong Chronicler. He or she will usually do little to no fighting, simply staying behind and filming / taking notes / commenting on the fights. They can also develop into a more active role as a Sidekick or even a Deuteragonist. These characters often turn out to be Narrator All Along. Not to be confused with a reporter in the Philippines bringing the news in Tagalog. Examples |

Wonder Woman (1987): Deconstructed with Cassie Arnold, who tags along with White Magician and gets to be the first reporter at incidents he takes care of because he keeps her in the loop. The problem is she's reporting what White Magician tells her to in order to control public opinion on him and most of it is lies to make his murders look like acts of heroism. | |

Guild Wars has this is the form of Shing Jea Sherman who follows the player and his/her party and other players and spouts out random quotes mostly concerning of the various titles and achievements. Even his main dialogue window exemplifies this trope, "I'm working on a new piece for the Monastery Gazette. A sexy exposé on all things adventurous. I can tell by your smell that you're on a mission...or out of soap. How I would love to follow you on your exploits. Watch you destroy your enemies with ruthless impunity; witness how you scrub those tough-to-clean blood stains off your armor. Allow me the privilege to tag along and observe, would you?" | |

Elena Fisher of the Uncharted series. In the first game, she was originally hired by Nathan Drake to do a piece of his discovery of Sir Francis Drake’s coffin. After he and Sully conned her and left her behind to find El Dorado, she tracks them down by herself and gets tackled along in their misadventures. It happens again in the second game, where she’s on an undercover mission to spy on the war criminal Zoran Lazarevic, who’s looking for clues and artifacts that will lead him to Shambala. This leads to her again crossing path with Nathan Drake who’s trying to stop him. After that, she basically becomes one of the main characters for the rest of the series. | |

Frederick Lancaster winds up working for the Canyon Crows in Front Mission after interrupting one of their missions looking for a scoop. Unusually for this trope, you have the option of putting him on the front line and making him fight alongside your other soldiers, since Front Mission is a Humongous Mecha game. | |

Homicide: Life on the Street: Brodie starts out as a TV news intern and ends up being a "crime scene recorder", getting videotape of crime scenes and the crowds around them. Series creator David Simon was himself a Tagalong Reporter. He took a year off from writing for the Baltimore Sun and spent it embedded with the Baltimore P.D. Homicide Unit. This became the non-fiction book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets. Many of the show's early stories were adaptations of real cases from this period. |

It's easy to forget that The A-Team had one of these. Amy (Melinda Culea) was featured prominently in the pilot and continued as a regular, but as the show entered production it turned out this resourceful crew had little need for her. Both Culea and series lead George Peppard were reportedly unhappy with how her role played out in the first season—Culea pushed for more lines and more involvement in the team's operations and fights, and Peppard was convinced the show didn't need a female lead at all. She was abruptly written out partway through season 2. Nonetheless the character was replaced by another tagalong reporter, Tawnia (Marla Heasley), this time as a recurring character; but there was even less for her to do, though at least she got a proper goodbye episode. | |

In the documentary 9/11, Jules Naudet (a French filmmaker) is present on an quiet morning with a New York City Fire Department branch (Battalion 1), as part of an otherwise-routine documentary about the life of firefighters, when he manages to film one of the few known pieces of footage showing American Airlines Flight 11 hitting the North Tower of the World Trade Center. From there, he accompanies the Battalion to the North Tower, being allowed the Battalion Chief, Joseph Pfeiffer, to accompany him inside and film the on-the-ground reaction at the scene. What he captures is the only known footage inside both towers, and is present at the point where the South Tower collapses (forcing those at the Command Post set up on the ground floor to run into a nearby escalator path to avoid the debris, along with filming the department's regrouping outside the North Tower and their subsequent run when that tower begins to collapse. | |

The Thing from Another World: In the opening scene Ned Scott, a journalist meets the Air Force protagonist and decides to do a story about the "downed aircraft". Later on it becomes something of a Running Gag that amidst the in-fighting over what to do about "The Thing" (protect the world by destroying it or try to communicate with and understand it) he just wants to get a photo of the monster (and repeatedly joins several armed searches for the Thing solely for this purpose). He does still get to say the memorable final words of the film, though. | |

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Intrepid Reporter Polly Perkins insists on going along with the title character in search of whoever's behind the giant robot attacks. Sky Captain really doesn't want this, because she's an old flame that he's convinced sabotaged his aircraft while Going for the Big Scoop (and possibly because she was jealous of another lover). Much Belligerent Sexual Tension ensues. | |
