A reporter and a journalist are two different works that actually look similar. Meanwhile, a reporter is someone that discovers an event and gives the report of the incident without adding any opinion or analysis. A journalist does quite more than a reporter. Instead of just delivering the report as occurred, a journalist goes further to add his or her own opinion and also make an analysis. Journalism is a wider term than reporting.

Journalism has to do with the whole crew involved in news media, such as the editors, reporters, TV anchors, photographers, and videographers. Therefore, this indicates reporting as a part of journalism, while journalism is the used universal term. Thus, a journalist can still function as a reporter, but a reporter cannot function in the office of a journalist. In addition, it is more demanding being a journalist than being a reporter. The journalists have more chance to explore but with stricter rules than the reporters.
