report
'der Bericht' and 'das Bulletin' can both provide factual information about facts or current events. However, 'der Bericht' is much more general. It can be short or long, oral or written, private, professional, or public. 'das Bulletin' is more specific: it is usually a short official notice issued by an organization, authority, or news service, often regularly. The words can be confused because a bulletin can be a kind of report. In everyday language, people usually say 'Bericht'. 'Bulletin' is more suitable for official or regular information.
