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.
