Role of News Anchor

 Role of News Anchor

There are four key moments in the life of a newsroom, and the news anchor is a key participant throughout each of them:

(1) The provisional meeting
This meeting takes place once a week. Its objective is to plan the reporting packages and anticipate on current or future events. Attending are the news director, the news anchor, department directors, the chief editors, writers, cameramen, researchers, and assistants. All external solicitations are examined, selected, or rejected. Elected stories are consigned in the newsroom’s agenda.

(2) The newsroom meeting
The newsroom meeting typically takes place six to eight hours before the newscast, to build the newscast of the day. It is held with every journalist in the room and, depending on the size of the station, may also include managers and technical teams. This meeting starts with the news review and a look into the agenda. Attendees contribute their points of view and ideas. The news director picks the stories that will be treated, and from which angles. As the meeting progresses, a pre-rundown begins to take shape. This meeting lasts between twenty and forty-five minutes.

(3) The preparatory meeting
This meeting takes place four to two hours before the newscast. The director or assistant director, the continuity staff, and the anchor settle the newscast’s rundown. The rundown is used for all producing teams: the on-set cameramen, the technical teams, the assistant director, the special effects staff, the sound producers, and the news anchor.

(4) The debriefing
The debriefing happens immediately following the newscast. It’s about point out strengths and weaknesses and discussing them with all journalists and technicians involved in the newscast. All technical issues, failures, and successes are discussed. They are also discussed at the following day’s first meeting. A reviewing of the newscast may take place to help improve the next newscast.

Reporting for various Mass Media

  Reporting for various Mass Media Same news can be reported in different ways in various media platforms, though they apply the use of the characteristics of news when writing stories. The difference in reporting is not because of the happenstance, but because of the demand of the medium and the target audience. For example, the print media relies more on words and photographs, whereas the television news requires visuals or videos, the radio news is delivered in the form of sound and the online news can present the news using all word, video, audio and photographs.
