Line 37:
* Lois Lane from ''[[Superman]]'', who may be one of the earliest examples of the trope.
* Betty Brant from ''[[Spider-Man]]''. Also Norah Winters, who is very, ''very'' aware that she falls into this category.
* Vicky Vale, especially in the 1989 ''[[Batman (film)|Batman]]'' movie, where she is the main female lead ''and'' is played by none other than [[Kim Basinger]]. The Joker becomes obsessed with her.
* Iris West and Linda Park from ''[[Flash|The Flash]]''.
* Sundra Peale from ''[[Nexus (comics)|Nexus]]''. {{spoiler|It turned out that she was actually a spy, and working as a reporter was just her cover identity.}} Nipsy Conniption is a more amoral example of this type.
* Seccotine from [[Spirou and Fantasio]].
* Filthy assistants on ''[[Transmetropolitan]]'' are reporters in training. Nothing about Yelena, but Shannon certainly qualifies because she is, well, a former stripper.

== Newspaper Comics ==
* The ''[[Brenda Starr, Reporter]]'' strip from the 1940s put this trope on center stage.
== Webcomics ==
Line 103 ⟶ 101:
== Western Animation ==
* Nellie Brie in ''[[An American Tail]]: The Mystery of the Night Monster''.
* April O'Neil from the original ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' cartoon, as well as the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|live-action films]]. Even a [[Baleful Polymorph]] (she was turned into a [[Cat Girl]] in one episode and a [[Fish Person|Fish Girl]] in another) [[Cute Monster Girl|couldn't ruin her Fanservice nature]]. In the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mirage|original comics]] and [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|the second animated series]] she was a [[Hot Scientist]] instead.
** April's reputation as a Hot Scoop is lampshaded in ''[[Robot Chicken]]'':
{{quote|'''Male Reporter:''' What are you wearing??
'''April:''' Standard reporter-issue yellow jumpsuit.
'''Second Male Reporter:''' Dude, let her wear it!}}
* Believe it or not, Daisy Duck becomes one of these in the ''[[Quack Pack]]'' TV series.
* Grace Ryan from ''[[Frisky Dingo]]''.
Line 110 ⟶ 112:
* On ''[[Word Girl]],'' the title character has a crush on [[School Newspaper Newshound|Todd "Scoops" Ming]]. Of course, fifth-grade boys aren't exactly the norm for this trope.
* An early ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode gave Meg a crush on the local anchor Tom Tucker.
