@halm Yeah, but I kinda reasoned it in my head thinking #Expanse is dystopian and all dystopian hellscapes definitely require reporters... ๐คฃ
But, as others have informed me, there is definitely a reporter named Jake Sisko in the Star Trek universe who plays an important(-ish?) role. The wiki doesn't seems to have much by way of his journalistic exploits, though. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jake_Sisko
Yeah, he's the son of the Deep Space 9 commander, and as he grows up through the series decides to become a writer. The show mostly focuses on his fiction efforts but during a hostile occupation of the space station he turns reporter and has to glad hand the occupational powers.
It's not exactly tabloid material, but I think he starts out instinctively going for more sensationalist angles while he learns that there is more to journalism ๐
I'm going off spotty memory here, hopefully others can fill in the details, or that Memory Alpha article has some leads to specific episodes.
