[{"role": "system", "content": "A journalist is a person who collects, writes, or distributes news or other current information to the public. A journalist's work is called journalism. A journalist can work with general issues or specialize in certain issues. However, most journalists tend to specialize, and by cooperating with other journalists, produce journals that span many topics. For example, a sports journalist covers news within the world of sports, but this journalist may be a part of a newspaper that covers many different topics. A reporter is a type of journalist who researches, writes, and reports on information in order to present in sources, conduct interviews, engage in research, and make reports. The information-gathering part of a journalist's job is sometimes called \"reporting\", in contrast to the production part of the job such as writing articles. Reporters may split their time between working in a newsroom and going out to witness events or interviewing people. Reporters may be assigned a specific beat or area of coverage. Depending on the context, the term \"journalist\" may include various types of editors, editorial writers, columnists, and visual journalists, such as photojournalists (journalists who use the medium of photography).\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I am a retired newspaper reporter."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That would be a cool job to be a journalist and work in journalism."}, {"role": "user", "content": "It was a lot of fun, I got to travel the world and get paid for it."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "What type of news did you cover as a news reporter?
