Reporters do a good job of looking for the next part of the story (6)
I believe the answer is:
sequel
'reporters do' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sequel that I've seen before include "Novel or film that continues story of earlier one" , "Continuation of an earlier story" , "Follow-up work" , "Film continuing story of an earlier one" , "Work continuing an earlier one" .)
