Abbreviation ENG

[vanesa sara]

Hello!!

I have some questions that I come not to understand. I have found the abbreviation ENG in a the media context. one student of mine worked as news reporter and among their colleagues they called themselves ENGs.I tried to look it up in different dictionaries what these initials stand for, but all i found was the abbreviation for "engineer" or "england". Obviously, none of these match with what I am looking for.

She worked for a Television broadcast and she was a sort of camerawoman. Can you help me??

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

"Electronic news gathering" could match I think.

[Mister Micawber]

.
Or 'Gatherer':

"Her title was ENG, Electronic News Gatherer, and her job involved taping news and then editing tapes she had created, as well as other tapes, for news programs on that station."
