correspondent
Let an agent explain correspondents, relay types, roles, history, safety and press freedom from journalism and press freedom sources, describe the named roles and flag post instances, and distinguish correspondents from reporters in general, stringers, columnists, press officers and letter writers in the older sense of correspondent.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Accreditation rules and press freedom vary by country.
