Script
- A report is a description of events, or a lack of those, or a statement that reflects a state of affairs that recipients of the report either requested or are willing to receive. Reporting refers to endeavors to produce one or more reports; however, not everyone who produce reports is a reporter.
- Reporters discover data related to news events and describe them for some media. However, those individuals who are not called reporters produce fewer reports than those who are formally not reporters.
- For instance, accountants and financial managers produce financial reports that reflect financial data and financial standing of some entity. Engineers, managers, and operators describe standing of equipment, logistics, orders, production, supplies, and other operational data. Sales representatives report about their interactions with the customers. Scientists report their research findings, and so on.
- However, electronic devices produce the overwhelming majority of reports in our electronic age. For instance, traffic reports may aggregate millions of reports produced by GPS-powered equipment, cameras, and other sensors.
