THE MAKING OF A-ONE-MAN-RIOT SQARD: ROLE OF ANCHOR – PERSON IN RADIO AND TELEVISION PRESENTATIONS

S. A. Shaibu

Abstract


The paper takes a clinical views of the domineering role of Anchor – Persons in Radio and Television Presentations with a view of highlighting templates of best practice or models for up and coming Anchor-persons in Radio and Television. My top Israel painted a glaring picture of one-man-riot-squard in my brain. It was in Tel-Aviv, on disembarking from the plane in Airport. Driving from there to other parts of Israel I saw some young security men and women – well – killed to do an emergency job on terrorist that threaten the lives of innocent citizens. I compared their killing with military wares and arsenals with that of soldier in my own country and noticed a mark of great difference. Then the common proverb in my tradition came to the mind – small ant that threatens the giant. Small Israel that cannot be intimidated by surrounding enemy neigbours. Coming home, I look at the profession I have spent the great part of my life in – the broadcasting profession. It is aal that there is no programme genre that does not use presenters. Here I want to see presenters as Anchor-Persons.
