Prerequisites

• Experience in TV presentation.

Course Description

Reading news by professional presenters primarily relies on pre-written scripts, but open coverage is often without a script. Therefore, mental agility, critical thinking, and continuous learning play a pivotal role in a presenter's skills. It is essential to differentiate between mental fitness deviating from the topic of coverage, as well as distinguishing between critical analysis and expressing personal opinions.

This is what the workshop revolves around.
