The organizational structure of a TV news department typically includes a news director who oversees senior editors and city editors. City editors assign stories to reporters and supervise their work. Reporters include beat reporters who cover specific topics and general assignment reporters. Other roles include camera operators, copy editors, newscast directors, producers, anchors, and tape editors who all work together to produce the newscasts under the leadership of senior producers and news production heads.
