List of fictional journalists

Attributing the profession of journalist to a fictional character allows many possibilities for the author: reporters may travel extensively and face adventures (like Tintin), are among the first to have news of disasters and crimes (like Clark "Superman" Kent and Peter "Spider-Man" Parker), and are supposed to be good at establishing communication. Some journalist may also be recognized as heroes (like Ulala from Space Channel 5), and fix the mixed and negative reception of the profession from their respective fictional universe.
