ABSTRACT

Producing Television news is a team effort. In the next few chapters, you will learn about the synthesis involving the producer, specific members of the production team and the technology they use.

THE REPORTER/WRITER/ANCHOR WORK STATION

Reporters, writers, and anchors have different organizational duties, but they use their computer terminals for similar tasks. They rely on the newsroom computer system to help them find source copy, do research, exchange messages, receive mail, write stories, view and edit video, and send completed work to the producer.
