Why doesn't the host of the news broadcast look down at the manuscript? Did they recite them all?

The host of the news broadcast is also a human being, and there will always be situations where he is in a trance or forgets words due to unexpected situations. Facing the national audience, news broadcast needs a high fault tolerance rate, which cannot be achieved by memory alone. It's not that there is no such thing as looking down at the manuscript. It's just that the host doesn't look down at the manuscript when the pilot cuts to the studio, but broadcasts it with the help of a teleprompter. When the pilot cuts the picture to the news, the host can look down at the manuscript.

In addition, in case of urgent news, it is too late to input the manuscript into the teleprompter, so the host can only lower his head to read the manuscript and broadcast it orally.

Compared with reading manuscripts, reading manuscripts naturally has stronger presentation ability and is more professional. It takes a long time to memorize and repeat the manuscript, but it is not foolproof. If the daily press release is broadcast without a manuscript, it is inevitable that words will be forgotten.

In some speech contests, even if the contestants forget the words, they can round them back through a rough impression and strong improvisation ability. The content of improvisation will be different from the original content, and the highlights of many speeches come from the improvisation of the speaker. But news broadcast is not like a speech, it doesn't need free space, and the press release is very concise and clear. Talking more and talking less will affect the broadcast effect. Since what is needed is the accuracy of the broadcast content, not the expressive ability of the manuscript, there is no need to take off the manuscript, and reading the manuscript is the general trend.

The teleprompter is widely used with the development of network celebrity's goods-carrying economy. The text provided by the supplier can be accurately conveyed to the audience through the teleprompter. The announcer's teleprompter is installed on the camera. Using the optical principle, it can shoot on the mirror and display the words that can only be seen outside the mirror. The audience watching the live broadcast can't see it.

Why can't the audience see the announcer reading the text? Here's a trick. When the announcer is staring at the center of the camera, the audience will feel eye contact with the announcer, but in fact, the announcer can easily scan the next line with the corner of his eye to avoid eye movement and read the manuscript. Of course, this also requires the broadcaster to practice. The broadcaster needs to imagine the center of the camera as the audience to avoid being blinded.
