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. Since presenters are the face of each channel, their proficiency in open coverage skills supports their professional career and ensures the channel's credibility. This is what the workshop revolves around.
