The same can be said for field reporters however there are times that the field reporters attire will depend on what the weather is like from the location that he is reporting from.
Communication is required between the news reade3r and field reporter.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuMdQRRLoYgSlide3
Links to studio
This is whenever the news reader gets in contact with the field reporter live and asks them questions about the current situation that they are reporting on. This is sent using a television transmitterSlide4
Modes of address to the viewer
This is basically how the news is presented to the audience, depending on who
the
target audience is this can change, for example, if the target audience is people who want serious news, then you can expect the news reader to be dressed formally, on the other hand, if the target audience is for people looking for less serious news such as movie news or gossip, you can expect the news reader to be dressed casually.
