Some will say its Monday morning quarterbacking....but that was Ron Burgundy bad. Yeah maybe he was thrown in the anchor chair after a 10 minute change over, but wasnt he in the newsroom before getting on camera..... Prepping for his shift?
But i think thats where this "VOICE OF GOD" style of "newsreader-presenting" fails, because when there is a fast moving breaking story, sometimes you have to just stop and drop the robotic facade. Everyone is human. Inform the viewers that we have fast moving developments and the story is still fluid at this hour. " I'm just being told the latest that we are getting into our newsroom...." Instead of staring into the camera like a deer caught in headlights and just moving your lips. Listen, look down and write down what you are being told in your IFB. They do this on CNN, and MSNBC and hundreds of local tv stations across Canada/US. JUST PAUSE. (Gallery should have given him the quick bullet points on what just happened and whats next and I dont see anything wrong with asking the gallery a question) Take a breath and then resume. Start at the top and run it all down again."Here is where are at this hour and what we know in this fast developing story. We are being told blah blah..."
But unfortunately this further exposes chinks in GBNEWS ability to gather and quickly disseminate breaking news smoothly.
