The Reporter has access to a secret channel with the roles of the dead.
The roles given are always the role that player was originally assigned; a dog who chooses to become a cursed civilian, then gets turned into a wolf and finally dies will be shown to the Reporter as 'dog'.
The Reporter is immune to disguises and redirections.
The Reporter is elected on the first full day with a living Mayor and no living Reporter.
The Reporter may resign at the end of any phase.
The Reporter gains an additional secret channel, which is reused for any subsequent Reporters.
