Yeah, he’s the son of the Deep Space 9 commander, and as he grows up through the series decides to become a writer. The show mostly focuses on his fiction efforts but during a hostile occupation of the space station he turns reporter and has to glad hand the occupational powers.

It’s not exactly tabloid material, but I think he starts out instinctively going for more sensationalist angles while he learns that there is more to journalism 🙂

I’m going off spotty memory here, hopefully others can fill in the details, or that Memory Alpha article has some leads to specific episodes.
