Talk:News broadcasting
I have started on this article but it really needs a lot more material. I suspect that relevant information is provided in other articles, inwhich case a merge is probably best. --ChrisJMoor 01:49, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Missing US terminology?
So far, this is a pretty good article. I'm just a little concerned that, while the content makes sense to non-American audiences, it would be nice to figure out how to integrate both the U.S. terminology and the non-U.S. terminology. For example:
| UK terminology | US terminology | remarks |
|---|---|---|
| presenter | anchor | |
| news bulletin / programme | newscast | In Britain bulletin=short news programme |
| news flash | special report (sometimes) | |
| running order | rundown | a technical term, I admit |
| news editor | news director | not to be confused with videotape editor |
| two-way | crosstalk (sometimes), satellite interview (sometimes) | |
| link | toss | assuming I'm understanding "link" correctly as meaning reporter introductions |
I'd integrate this if I could, but it would really jumble the text, since it's important to keep this international. Any ideas? --Oddtoddnm 08:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed that in Wales at least, and the rest of Britain, terminology even varies between individual newsrooms e.g. spares/standbys, oovs/ulays, sot/clip...etc!!! How do we rectify this? 12:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
mergefrom Cable News
Cable News has some useful material that should be merged here, see [1]. —Quarl (talk) 2006-11-22 07:15Z
Proposals
Considering this article's emphasis, I propose changing its title to 'television news.' Otherwise, we'd need to include radio news information as well for completeness' sake. Aufheben 14:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
