journalist and news gatherer as well as a participant in compiling the script to be delivered in a news bulletin.Prior to the television era, radio-news broadcasts often mixed news with opinion and each presenter strove for a distinctive style. These presenters were referred to as commentators. The last remaining news presenter of this type is Paul Harvey.
