Report structure
Report structure - is a report which follows a structure in which elements appear in.Lead summary - which is when the news reporter introduces what they're going to talk about in that episode.
Links to exterior locations - when news reporters link to a correspondent that is in a different location which is usually always live on television.
Quotes/interviews - when the correspondent is out at a different location there might be someone there that saw what happened or knows something about the topic etc, and they can interview them there live.
Actuality footage - is when in the background there is something happening for example if there are people walking thats real footage that is happening there and then.
Link to studio - when the correspondent is finished interviewing etc it then goes to the studio where they will finish of the topic in hand.
Summary - is when you sum up all the information you've got which just clarify's whats been said already this is also the very last thing that a news reporter has to do before moving on to another topic.
I believe that a news reporter should wear formal clothing which makes them look professional and are taken seriously. However for a correspondent if in a location were people dress differently the correspondents should respect that and dress that way. For example if in a warehouse or building site they should have hard hats on and wear Hi Viz jackets like other people on that site would dress.
Modes of address
News reporters and correspondents must speak confidently because if they stutter and make mistakes people wont continue watching, also it may show that they don't even know what they're talking about so how is the audience supposed to know. This makes them look unprofessional. Therefore they should have the correct Accent which helps there audience understand them and are not left thinking 'what did they just say'' because this will lose viewers if the audience don't understand.
The tone of someone's voice is very important especially on television if someone has a dull tone of voice it may show the audience that they are not bothered, and don't really care, also it's unprofessional, this may lead to them getting into trouble with their boss or fired. This means having the right tone of voice is very important to an audience because it shows that they confident in what they are saying which helps the audience be engaged and listen to what they have to say because of the way that they present it makes people want to listen.
Links to the studio
Links to the studio - are interactions between the field reporter and news reader.
An example of links to the studio is the BBC news they use this a lot on television also it's not boring watching someone in a studio just reading what they have to say to the audience that would lose viewers whereas having a field reporter it engages people and also they may have an expert on site at that location that they can interview which gives audience more of an understanding of the topic.
Correspondents may interact with a reporter back at the studio for things like facts and statistics which they may interact upon, footage that they may speak about together and disscuss some certain points that were shown in the footage. Also the news reporter in the studio may also have questions for the field reporter when live on air which just gives audience understanding and it just as if the studio reporter is taking on on the role of the audience by asking questions that they may have .
Field reporters
Field reporters - a field reporter (correspondent) is the main focal point of a news package
Having a field reporter is much easier and less time consuming because they are on hand at different locations this is also much more effective to the audience because it would feel realistic to to them because the topic that they are on may have something to do with that location and also the things that are happening in the background might make you feel like you are there which creates realism.
When doing a field report things that happen in the background gives the audience clearer understanding on what's going on. Also things may happen live on air which shows the audience that they are doing a real live report there and then and usually in the bottom corner or top corner they must tell you if a programme is live. This just creates a lot of realism and it's believable for the audience this makes the audience believe what the reporter has to say.
Interviewing experts & eye witnesses
Interviewing experts & eye witnesses
Experts and eye witnesses who don't have a personal connection with that person or thing etc, may give information will being interviewed on what they witnessed they have to be accurate since people would get false information when the news should an accurate place on television. They can also be subjective if they were involved in the situation so they can give their own point of view and their opinion on the situation.
Also when interviewing experts and witnesses live it will show actuality footage when people are walking or doing something in the background or something that is relevant to what the situation is about happens in the background which just shows the audience that its real life, and it just makes it seem more realistic.
