A special report is an in-depth article on a topical issue that may be of particular interest to a newspaper’s audience. Such articles could focus on investigative journalism, such as exposing wrongdoing or corrupt activities, or they could be more technical subjects that require a high level of expertise to understand. Specialized reporting can help increase a news organization’s credibility and provide valuable insight into complex subjects for readers.

In the case of an aircraft or a helicopter, a special report shall be sent as soon as possible to the units providing approach control service, without waiting for the next routine report or forecast. The special report must include a description of the event and the aircraft or helicopter, and a statement of the cause of the failure or loss of service.
The special report shall also contain a detailed description of the measures taken to restore normal operation and the timescale for completing those measures. The special report should also be prepared with reference to the latest available information, including any relevant published reports or advice from a regulatory authority. If the special report is an internal audit report (see AT section 201, Agreed-Upon Procedures Engagements), it should be clearly identified as such and should contain a description of the relevant procedures undertaken by the auditor.
