you are right, reporters could have been much better but in order for that to happen, they needed to restructure the entire story. Here is what could have made it better.
1) from episode 1-50 the overall plot would be the same, only difference, Ananya would already know SK commited suicide. however, she always had a nagging feeling he was murdered but could not investigate further because she was a junior reporter without any resources. Besides all the evidence would be either destroyed or hidden in RG's encrypted Database. This would be much more believable than sitting around doing nothing for 8 years.
2) Instead of confessing in episode 50, Kabir realizes he is in love with Ananya but stays quiet Because he witnessed SK's murder then monu was kidnapped blah blah blah. This would make way for an EPIC dard wala love track, kabir pining for ananya but the guilt won't let him go anywhere near her. He starts giving her the cold shoulder, she thinks he hates her.
3) around episode 53/55, Ananya cannot bottle up her emotions anymore, confesses her love and in return Kabir tells her the brutal truth about her father's death. Then we would see the same story we are seeing now, only, ananya accusing him of such horrible things makes sense because their bond is not strong, she doesn't know him that well, and there is no trust. it would make sense and I would be less angry.CV's could have included drunk kabir, crashing his car, seeing ananya seeking comfort in Ronnie, being angry with himself for being so helpless and letting her down. basically the same things we saw before
4) Then comes the bomb track around episode 60, after seeing him risk his life to save her, Ananya starts asking the logical questions and goes up to him willingly to hear the full story. Kabir can then confess his love as well.
5) from here on, around episode 62 Kaya's official love story starts. Things will still be awkward at first but ananya will begin to fall in love with the flawed kabir and not the idealistic Hero. the next 10 episodes would be ananya falling for the real kabir, and we could see some cute scenes, dates, long drives as well as their growing comfort. around episode 71-72, RG can make an entry as KKN's new sponsor. Then Kaya can join forces to expose him. the show can then end with a proposal and an engagement.
obviously, My version is missing the details but I think with some polishing this would have the better version. the script is much tighter without uncessary episodes of tantrum throwing ananya. one of the biggest issue was that they added a lot of useless plotlines initially. I even crossed off tarini and shreya because Kabir's past is complicated enough without the bitchy ex wife and infidelity. Shreya has become a pointless vamp and tarini does not have a significant role, her exclusion would not effect the story.
