Contents

Format

The Reporters was structured much in the style of the syndicated program A Current Affair , except that there was no regular "host" role. As A Current Affair was produced for syndication by Fox, there was a considerable overlap in subject matter and some reporters even appeared on both programs.

Some segments from the program have since been seen in the present day in a historical context on Fox News as part of their compilation series, From the Fox Files.
