What is a "city desk"?
A city desk is a section within a newsroom responsible for covering local news in a specific city or region. Journalists working at the city desk focus on stories related to events, politics, crime, business, and other issues affecting the local community. The city desk coordinates with reporters, photographers, and editors to gather and report information on events happening within the city. It plays a key role in ensuring that news relevant to the local audience is accurately reported and published in newspapers, magazines, or online platforms.
Examples
The city desk is working hard to cover the latest developments in the local election.
I just spoke to a reporter at the city desk about the upcoming community event.
