The People of Broadcast Journalism - By
00:09 | Hello . Welcome to this video on the people of | |
00:12 | broadcast journalism . In the previous video , we talked | |
00:15 | about new vocabulary we use when talking about the news | |
00:18 | for television , Internet and radio . In this video | |
00:22 | , we're going to take a deeper look into the | |
00:24 | people that deliver the news in video or audio form | |
00:29 | . We'll talk about news anchors , correspondents , producers | |
00:32 | and control room operators . Let's start with the anchor | |
00:38 | . The journalist who reads the news on camera is | |
00:40 | called the news anchor . This is the lead journalist | |
00:46 | or journalists of a news program and anchor is the | |
00:49 | host of all of that news programs shows . Sometimes | |
00:54 | the name of this anchor is part of the name | |
00:56 | of the show . For example . NBC Nightly News | |
00:59 | with Lester Holt . Lester Holt hosts this news program | |
01:03 | most nights of the week . The anchors , the | |
01:05 | journalist who reads copy from the teleprompter while the anchor | |
01:09 | is the lead journalists , there are other journalists who | |
01:11 | work on the news and appear on the program . | |
01:14 | These journalists are called correspondence . These correspondents can be | |
01:22 | general journalists or they can have specialties like they may | |
01:26 | have special knowledge about one topic . For example , | |
01:30 | there are many business correspondence or medical correspondence . They | |
01:34 | may have extra training in business or medicine and therefore | |
01:38 | can better investigate in research those types of news stories | |
01:42 | . Other specialties include correspondents who know a certain area | |
01:45 | of the world really well . Maybe they're from there | |
01:48 | or maybe they just studied that area for many years | |
01:51 | . For example , a Middle East correspondent is someone | |
01:54 | who reports from the Middle East or who covers news | |
01:57 | having to do with the Middle East . They may | |
02:00 | speak a local language or they may know a lot | |
02:02 | about local culture or history and therefore they can better | |
02:06 | investigate and research those types of stories . It's coming | |
02:11 | for a correspondent to travel to where the news is | |
02:13 | happening and report from there that's called being on location | |
02:22 | , correspondents report from locations all across the world . | |
02:25 | For example , if there's a fire football match or | |
02:28 | election , a correspondent will go on location to get | |
02:31 | the story . Another person who is very important in | |
02:34 | broadcast journalism is the producer . A producer decides what | |
02:39 | news stories to show how long each story will be | |
02:41 | and in what order . A producer also directs the | |
02:48 | show as it's being broadcast . They decide in the | |
02:52 | moment if breaking news should interrupt a segment , they | |
02:55 | decide when to take commercial breaks and the producer is | |
02:58 | also the person with the final approval for copy before | |
03:02 | his story is added to a particular programme . The | |
03:06 | producer is not in the studio with the anchor at | |
03:08 | the time of the broadcast . Instead , they work | |
03:12 | alongside control room operators who prepare video clips and it's | |
03:16 | sound and control the teleprompter . Control room operators have | |
03:23 | technical skills rather than journalism degrees . They know how | |
03:27 | to control the machines that help broadcast the news , | |
03:30 | but not necessarily what is important to include in the | |
03:33 | story . To summarize . We've talked about anchors , | |
03:36 | types of correspondents , producers and control room operators check | |
03:41 | your understanding of these people involved in broadcasting the news | |
03:44 | and the vocabulary from the first video in the next | |
03:48 | game . |
