Your local newsperson reports on the days' happenings in your neighborhood. They keep you up to date with the most important political news, companies in your neighborhood, weather, traffic, murder, and education news. When it comes to the national news, the local news reporters use local viewpoints. Although events happen thousands of miles away, a local newsperson knows it still has an effect on their lives.

A newsperson on both national and international scales may fly far and wide for the complete story.
