新闻从业员（英语：Journalist），又称新闻工作者，是从事新闻的相关职业，包括记者、新闻报导员及摄影记者等。他们主要负责采访、报导等新闻工作。

A journalist is a person who collects, writes, or distributes news or other current information. A journalist's work is called journalism. A journalist can work with general issues or specialize in certain issues. However, most journalists tend to specialize, and by cooperating with other journalists, produce journals that span many topics. For example, a sports journalist covers news within the world of sports, but this journalist may be a part of a newspaper that covers many different topics.
