Your Teams...

Dear students,

In order to produce two news bulletins during this term, as agreed in the class, we need the following posts to be filled:

Two Senior Broadcast Journalists, each one will be supervising a team of the following members:

(2) Broadcast Journalists (They are going to edit their reports themselves) / one of them will play an Interview Producer as well + (1) Correspondent (i.e. to report from another university) + (1) Sports Reporter + (2) Anchors + (1) Director + (1) Cameraman (i.e. for external shooting).

Candidates for the post of Anchor should be interviewed first by a board of four (Me + Miss. Nehal + a student from the class representing the audience + a professional BBC journalist from Cairo office) - Presentation, as well as the whole bulletin, will be in English. Both Anchors must be very good in it.

Please, make sure the two teams are already formed by Monday 15 October.

Training on editing and shooting should start ASAP as well. Next week you will be trained on making reports. The week after you will have to submit your reports. That's why you need to be fully aware of how to shoot and edit.

Good luck!

TV Newsroom Hierarchy

A TV Newsroom: How It Simply Works

• 

  
  

  At the top of a TV newsroom is the news director (editor-in-chief), who manages the day-to-day operations. He/she may exercise significant judgment over presentation of the news broadcast.

  Reporting to the editor-in-chief are a producer (senior broadcast journalist / SBJ), who manages production of content and provide guidance for the development of stories. SBJs book satellite feeds and manage the timing of the show.

  Assignment editors, who may also report to the editor-in-chief, assign stories to reporters and broadcast journalists (BJs) based on tips, items on the newswires and competitors' broadcasts. Reporters generally report to SBJs.
