When I was a kid, I had this weird idea that the reporter was Superman. He looked like Christopher Reeves to my child eyes. He was a reporter, his name was Clark (yes, I know now that's his last name, not his first), he wore glasses and the woman fell in love with him anytime he took the glasses off. Also, the scene where he broke the monster's finger nails to rescue the kid.
Maybe they took some inspiration from Superman as a reporter for the character possibly? Now you mention it, there is a lot of similarities between the 2.
