Description
Aspiring radio and TV presenters will benefit from the informative and entertaining guidance provided by accomplished presenter, Janet
Trewin. Presenting on TV and Radio is packed with illustrations, practical exercises and insider tips for improving your presentation
skills and breaking into this competitive industry.
Based on the principle that all successful presentation on TV and radio is dependent
on uniform skills applicable to both mediums, the book begins by explaining basics such as appearance, authority, body language, diction,
scriptwriting, deadlines, technology and working with a co-presenter. Valuable insights into key employment issues such as sexism, ageism,
racism and disability are also offered. The different requirements of TV and radio presentation are then examined, focusing on each specialist
area in detail and with tips from professionals in the business. These include: presenting news in the studio as an anchor and as a reporter
on the road; current affairs and features involving live and recorded material; DJ'ing; light entertainment (e.g. game shows and personality
programmes); sports presentation; children's programmes; foreign broadcasters and those broadcasting to worldwide audiences.
Audience
Post and undergraduate journalism and broadcasting students.
Contents
As a journalist and presenter herself, Janet Trewin is ideally placed to investigate not just how you do it but how it feels to do it
through the eyes of some of the most successful presenters in TV and Radio. There are practical tips, words of warning and much to inspire
in this entertaining book.
Presenters increasingly must work in both TV and radio so the starting point is the essentials common to
both such as diction, interviewing, stress and team-working. Specialist TV demands like autocue, pieces to camera and scripting for screen
are all covered. Similarly radio skills like ad-libbing, running commentary and writing for radio are explained in full. To demonstrate
the immense diversity of the job a collection of high flyers, ranging from news presenters, travel reporters, international business
anchors and DJs to the celebrity chef, Brian Turner share their secrets. There's advice too on how to get a job and what about those
controversial employment issues? Sexism: Do blond bombshells really get the jobs? Ageism: The presenter who became a celebrity after
starting in the business at 62. Racism: Colour on screen but not in the editorial team? Disability: The TV reporter who's had all four
limbs amputated and still does the job - she tells how.
