List and describe the different types of reporting beats.
What will be an ideal response?
Thematic beats focus on specific aspects of coverage, such as police news, court coverage, higher education reporting, and religious information. Thematic beats can involve a wide geographic area or be concentrated in several key areas within the circulation range of a traditional publication. In the case of geographic beats, coverage efforts are more about the physical place and what is happening there than any particular aspect of one thematic area. Conceptual beats focus on things that lack a concrete definition or a central junction point for coverage.
