How to use 记者
记者 is the everyday word for any reporter or journalist, whether for TV, newspapers, or online media. It often appears with 新闻 (xīnwén, news) or a media name before it. Example: 她是一名电视台记者。(Tā shì yì míng diànshìtái jìzhě.) She is a TV station reporter.
记 (jì) means to record, and 者 (zhě) means a person who does something. A 记者 is literally a person who records, someone who writes down the news.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes mix up 者 (zhě) with 着 (zhe) or 都 (dōu) because they look alike. Note that 者 has no 目 at the bottom like 着 does. Also keep the tones as fourth plus third, jìzhě, and do not make 者 neutral.
