World news is a term used by reporters to describe events that have impact on the global community. A journalist that specializes in this type of story is called a foreign correspondent, and it can be a very lucrative career for those with the right connections and a lot of hustle.

A reporter that covers world news may write hard or soft news stories that are published in newspapers and on websites around the globe. A foreign correspondent usually works from a main hub city, but sometimes travels to other cities or even countries to cover a specific event or story. A reporter can also be a freelancer, and that means they have the freedom to work with different publications.
