The British Academy for Training and Development presents this course (Field Reporter Skills and Competencies) on the performance and skills of the successful Field Reporter, for all individuals wishing to develop their skills and obtain more experiences in the area of Field Reporting and Writing of Newsletters.

The field of TV Journalism and Reporting is one of the most complex areas of journalism, as it requires a lot of advanced capabilities, and a sense of good behavior in complicated situations. Field Work is one of the most difficult media tasks that may be carried out by professionals in this field, and therefore professional staff in this field of TV Reporting is chosen precisely based on many conditions and qualities. TV Reporter works as both a journalist and a commentator, being more of a general speaker, reporting on events and breaking news for Newspapers, Radio Stations, News Casting Shows, in TV Stations. A news casting is a periodical article that covers specific events and stories allowing their audience to receive news and information related to the specific event in informative method, either in the local, regional, or international context.  A Newscaster is the person who reads the news scripts, in the final stage of the news casting process. It is better for the newscaster to participate in in the pre-news casting stages, by editing or participating in the preparation process of news, this concept is known in the news agencies as the Editor- Newscaster, as the newscaster holds a great responsibility, since his task is not only a regular job to be done, but it depends basically on the passion for learning and the psychological readiness and openness for new perspectives and information. There is also a variety of elements behind the audience relationship with the newscaster, most important of which is the person who reads the news scripts, many of newscasters have the perfect ability to eye contact with the audience, but many newscasters read news scripts without looking at the camera, which results to boredom of the audience. The problem was solved long time ago by using the Teleprompter, which is very useful in maintaining eye communication between the newscaster and the home audience, where newscaster reads the script and looks at the camera at the same time.
