The text below is an excerpt from a research named "State of the News Media in 2016" conducted by PEW.
I had several questions while I read it; please expound on them and clear up my feeling
Words between [] are complements which I put so that you can comprehend the context; words between <> are that on which I have a question.

"The [newspaper] industry supports nearly 33,000 full-time newsroom employees. Indeed, newspapers employ <32%> of <daily reporters> stationed in Washington, D.C. to cover issues and events tied to Congress, as well as <38% of the reporters> who cover statehouse legislatures. Still, smaller budgets have continued to lead to smaller newsrooms: The latest newspaper newsroom employment figures (from 2014) show 10% declines, greater than in any year since 2009, leaving a workforce that is 20,000 positions smaller than 20 years prior."
Q0. Does this 32% mean 32% of the reporters in Washington or all the reporters of the US?
Q1. Does this "daily reporters" mean reporters for a daily newspaper or full-time reporters?
Q2. Does this "38% of the reporters" mean 38% of the reporters who are stationed in Washington, D.C. mentioned just before or 38% of all the reporters in the US?
