What does 'beat' means here? :D (from the TV show 'How I met your mother S01E04)
Robin: But I'm not doing it, I am a journalist.
Barney: What ? Journalist ? You do the little fluff pieces at the end of the news. Old people, babies, monkeys... that's not journalism, that's just things in a diaper.
Robin: For your information, my boss is about to bump me up to the City Hall beat.
