A correspondent or on-the-scene reporter is a journalist or commentator who contributes reports to a newspaper, or radio or television news, from a remote, often distant, location.
While the correspondant is more of an American term, such as NBC or Fox News.
A recent cost-saving measure is for local tv news to dispense with out-of-town reporters and replace them with syndicated correspondents, usually supplied by a centralized news reporting agency.

Foreign Correspondent is one of those suspenseful gems, released in 1940 on the heels of the immensely successful Rebecca.
Foreign Correspondent was only Hitchcock's second American film, and in 1941 it competed with Rebecca at the Academy Awards for the coveted Best Picture prize -- and lost.
Less delightful is the tacked-on secondary resolution of Foreign Correspondent: as bombs rain down on London, Jones makes a bold radio address calling for the US to intervene in the European conflict.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT has achieved a well-deserved reputation as a masterpiece of suspense and intrigue, and was instrumental in upgrading the reputation of the thriller genre (it was nominated for the best picture of 1940).
"Foreign Correspondent" was Alfred Hitchcock's second American feature made in 1940, the same year as his first feature "Rebecca", and surprisingly both were up for "best picture".

 DVD Verdict Review - Foreign Correspondent
Powers, the editor of the New York Globe; dissatisfied with the lack of hard news from his staff of foreign correspondents, he decides that a fresh perspective is needed and enlists an idealistic, two-fisted crime reporter named Johnny Jones (Joel McCrea, Dead End) to bring back the real story of what is happening in Europe.
Foreign Correspondent begins with such a light comic touch, in fact, that it's easy to imagine audiences thinking that they'd walked into the wrong theatre.
However, in Foreign Correspondent there is plenty of excitement and suspense to go around, and we see familiar touches from his early work along with the rough forms of elements that would eventually produce such classic thrillers as North by Northwest.

It seems to me that both of these foreign correspondent types are now endangered species, having been replaced with the one-size fits all writer who jets into a region with little knowledge of its past or present and not much more insight into his/her own culture or government.

 dOc DVD Review: Foreign Correspondent (1940)
Foreign Correspondent, made in 1940 (the same year as Rebecca), is a gem of filmmaking that, for some reason or another, never seems to get the attention it deserves.
In some respects, Foreign Correspondent could be viewed as the prelude to Notorious (though, admittedly, Hitchcock's 1946 classic is much more serious).
The fact that Foreign Correspondent is a great exercise in filmmaking, and that most audience members will not realize this upon their first viewing just how great the technical merits are, is what makes it so good.

 GreenCine | product main - Foreign Correspondent (1940)
Fourteen scriptwriters spent five years toiling over a movie adaptation of war correspondent Vincent Sheehan's Personal History before producer Walter Wanger brought the property to the screen as Foreign Correspondent.
Producer Wanger kept abreast of breaking news events all through the filming of Foreign Correspondent, enabling him to keep the picture as "hot" as possible: the final scene, with McCrea broadcasting to a "sleeping" America from London while Nazi bombs drop all around him, was filmed only a short time after the actual London blitz.
Foreign Correspondent was Alfred Hitchcock's second American film, and remained one of his (and his fans') personal favorites.

 Foreign Correspondent DVD Review
Only slightly dated, Foreign Correspondent was a marvel of it's time for special effects and is a predecessor of the modern day blockbuster.
Foreign Correspondent has the usual great Hitchcock mix of humor, suspense, and something he used several times in films called the McGuffin.
Robert Benchley (grandfather of Jaws writer Peter) injects some slapstick as the foreign correspondent that McCrea is sent to take over from and the normally lovable Edmund Gwenn is no Kris Kringle (from Miracle on 34th Street) as he plays the assassin Rowley who is dispatched to kill McCrea.

 FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT
Based on the Spanish Civil War memoirs of then-famous war correspondent Vincent Sheehan, its producer, the highly urbane Walter Wanger, wanted it updated not just to World War II but on an almost weekly basis to incorporate each new domino falling in Hitler’s blitzkrieg.
Foreign Correspondent benefits from its consistent, and often corrosive, humour, typically allied to mordant observations of human nature which recall the bleak comedy of The Lady Vanishes (desperate tourists bribing front desk staff, etc).
Thus pulverised, one is caught off guard by the unexpectedly moving rallying cry that ends the film with McCrea cavalierly throwing away his (fictional) script as, the bombs falling behind him in London, the lights go out – "lights that are out everywhere – except in America!".

 Foreign Correspondent Willing to Return to Danger Zone
NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)--For almost 20 years, Elizabeth Neuffer, an award-winning foreign correspondent for the Boston Globe, has lived with the risks and threats that are a part of daily life for female war correspondents.
Although Neuffer acknowledges the positive and negative impacts her gender has had on her job, she maintains that "a good foreign correspondent is a good foreign correspondent, regardless of sex."
Being a war correspondent brought her closer to her father, a World War II veteran who was full of sound advice, yet creates distance with her companion, an editor at the Globe, who worries incessantly every time she leaves.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Foreign Correspondent
However, George Sanders is the cast's standout as the unflappable ffolliott — a man who exhibits humor as dry as a gin martini when we first meet him (as he explains his unusual surname whilst being shot at), but later proves to be the story's chief catalyst, and not a bad action hero to boot.
Those who have seen The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes will enjoy Foreign Correspondent, which reveals the same playful Hitchcock elaborating on his favorite espionage motifs, albeit now in Hollywood and with real money to spend.
Warner's DVD release of Foreign Correspondent features a good full-frame transfer (1.33:1 OAR) from a reasonable fl-and-white source-print, which exhibits noticeable collateral wear but is still pleasant and watchable, while the monaural audio is clear on a DD 1.0 track.

 Foreign Correspondent (1940)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
But with all the praise heaped on Hitchcock's first American movie, his second has often gone unnoticed, although it is certainly up to par with - if not better than - "Rebecca".
Foreign Correspondent tells the story of Johnny Jones, an American newspaper writer chosen to go to England to report on the war as Huntley Haverstock for the New York Globe.
All in all, Foreign Correspondent shows Hitchcock at his best, in the midst of a string of movies that saw him reach the top of the British filmmaking world and rapidly ascend to the same position in America.
