When reporters are assigned to report on a story, we say that they cover the story. For example, in the movie Groundhog Day, a meteorologist is assigned to cover the Groundhog Day festivities. That means he’s assigned to talk about Groundhog Day on the news. He’s covering the holiday for the news. Today, lots of television networks cover Groundhog Day, since it’s such a popular holiday in the US. Every February 2, you can watch news coverage of the big announcement.
