EDITORIAL PRODUCTION TECHNICAL

EDITORIAL:-
The editorial department consists of:
v Researchers
v Reporters
v Desk Coordinators
v News Editors
v News Producers
v Anchors
Researchers: This is the starting job in the editorial
department. Nowadays not many organizations have News
Researchers as they expect the Reporter to do his own research.

Reporters: This is the most popular role in the editorial


department. The Reporter covers stories on location. He does
the interviews and is the on location director. Once back he
scripts the story and gets it edited.
Desk: The people on the desk have a varied set of
roles. One is to keep themselves aware about what is
happening all over the world, the other is to check scripts
of Reporters for grammatical and factual errors.

Also they ensure that no important story is left out.


News Coordinator: He not only keeps himself
abreast of what is happening all over the country
but is also in touch with all his correspondents and
stringers on the field.
Editors: There are mainly two kinds of Editors; Input and
Output editors. The input ones decide what news items or
stories are to be followed whereas the output ones decide which
stories are to be carried in the bulletin.

News Producers: These people help the output editor in


executing his decisions. Sometimes the output editor and
producer is the same person. The main role of the editorial
producer is to command the bulletin’s run-order.
Anchors: Also called
presenters or
hosts. These are people
who come in front of the
camera and introduce a
news item. Earlier these
people were called News
Readers but this
nomenclature has
changed with the roles of
anchors changing over
the years.
PRODUCTION:

The Production department consists of:


v Director / Producer
v Graphics
v Lighting Directors
v Assistant Producers
v Production Assistants
Director / Producer: The
production unit is headed by
the Director. He decides the
look and feel of the programme
and eventually executes what
has been finalized on paper by
the News Producer.

In some channel this person is


called the producer of the
show. He also has the task of
controlling the Production
Control Room (or PCR) when
the news is being compiled.
Graphics: The graphics department makes all the
graphics and fires them at the right time under the
guidance of the director.

Lighting Directors: They light the studio based on


the Director’s instructions.
Assistant Producers: These people
assist the director in his work.

The work could range from compiling


the story sent by a stringer, news
agency or keep stories ready for
telecast or run the Autocue machine.

Autocue machines are computers with


a see through screen at one side.

The camera can see through and focus


on the anchor whereas the anchor can
see a computer screen and read the
news.
Production Assistants: Junior assistant
producers are called Production Assistants.

Video Recorder based on the Director’s
instructions. They work with a series of monitors

match the various cameras in a studio. Unmatched
cameras will make a programme look
unprofessional with different cameras showing
different colour and light balance.

station from which they are sent to the satellite. They also control the signals coming from

parcel of any news team.
