Usage Note

Informador has two distinct registers: in journalism it is a neutral synonym for periodista (reporter, journalist), while in legal or police contexts it means an informant or tipster. The feminine form is informadora. Context disambiguates: informador gráfico is a press photographer, while informador policial is a police informant. Learners should check context carefully to avoid misreading the tone.
