reportable + noun (attributive)

用法筆記

This sense is about news value or general interest, not legal obligation. Often used with 'consider' (e.g. 'considered reportable') or 'be' (e.g. 'was reportable'). Distinguish from sense 1 (MUST BE REPORTED), which refers to a legal duty.

常見錯誤

The article covered a reportable event.
'reportable' describes the event or fact itself, not the article that reports on it.
