What does the day look like?
Reading live from a teleprompter takes up only 5% to 10% of your working shift (around 15 to 60 minutes of airtime). The remaining 90% to 95% of the day is spent researching stories, interviewing sources, writing broadcast copy, and editing footage.
A typical shift begins with morning editorial meetings and reviewing wire services like Reuters, AP, and AFP. You assemble story packages in newsroom software such as Avid iNEWS or AP ENPS, edit video on Adobe Premiere Pro or Grass Valley EDIUS, and rehearse in the studio. Shifts frequently include early morning starts at 03:30 or late-night finishes at 23:30, alongside mandatory weekend rotations.
