Backstage Russia Today

I always wondered how the news gets into the TV. As journalists are ready to air? What leading dressed and what they are hiding under the table? How many people are hiding behind the camera? What size television studios and always behind the scenes?

Let's start with newsroom (Newsroom - literally "news room"). It is coming up with writing the news. The group consists of BiDzheev release (from the English or BJ Broadcast Journalist) or, in Russian, journalists, editors. They write texts for the lead following the ribbons agencies, if necessary, mount a "picture", preparing questions and communicate with guests and correspondents for live broadcasts and more.

To lead them the chief editor. He manages the "rundown" or EDLs, ie determines the sequence of issuing news broadcast. If you suddenly somewhere something "Libya" or "Fukushima" in the sense of breaking news, it is the chief editor decides on changes in the broadcasting schedule of the channel. Also in the newsroom sit translators, editors website editors and leading sports news

In the foreground (in a striped sweater) sits an important channel for people - it output editor (or, in Russian, the editor of the style). It scans all texts in spelling, grammar and "correctness" of the English language.

Let me remind you that Russia Today broadcasts in non-Russian languages, so all "autputy" as they are called here, are native speakers, that is, English, Irish, Americans, Australians, Arabs and Latin Americans.

There is also a separate room where reporters from filming scenes preparing and looking for new topic - here, for example, a journalist of the Spanish channel.

In the Spanish version of the studio open type, ie newsroom and journalists sitting in it you can see in the shot behind the leader. But the essence of their work does not change, only in the workplace should not be eating, drinking, talking loudly and keep enabled mobile phones.



6.

On the leading watch multiple cameras to be able to change plans and perspectives. Right from the host - a big plasma panel, which can display any video. For example, a leading speaks about the oil spill in some sea, and on the screen that same oil can be shown for clarity, so to speak.

Place the master closer I could see in the studio of the Arab channel. It turns out that not only the leading table. Inside is hidden under glass and computer screen to view the broadcast. Another is on the table earpiece that lead inserted into the ear and hears through the team director. If you live takes some pad, the problem of icy calm to keep the lead until his ear nervously shouting director.

Leading Text reads prompter. Arabic prompter looks very exotic.



10.

Each studio is equipped with a bunch of lighting so that you can change the picture beyond recognition.

Studio-transformer. It is written just 5 programs of different channels. In just a few minutes of her appearance and color scheme is reversed. Here is a space-saving):

In all, Russia Today 6 studios on 3 channels that broadcast in English, Arabic and Spanish. At the same time, in English and Arabic news channels go around the clock. A Spanish - 7 issues a day, preferably at night when the day in Latin America.



16.

These canals are the journalists from 35 countries of the world - from Australia, Algeria, Argentina, Britain, Germany, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Ireland, Spain, Yemen, Colombia, Lebanon, Libya, Mexico, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Syria Sudan, the United States, Tunisia, France, the Philippines, Chile, Ecuador and other foreign countries, and, of course, Russia and former Soviet republics.

Because the frame is visible only from the waist up lead, then the table can often see jeans, and in the summer even shorts. Strict dress code there - the main thing that the man in the picture looked well - is often a shirt and a jacket.



17.

There are certain unspoken rules that everyone knows - do not wear too much contrast (black, red, white and black), and silver ornaments from shiny metal, clothing with stripes, small peas and colorful flower - all this spoils the picture.



18.

Leading the program CrossTalk, the American Peter Lavelle. Funny he socks. Obviously, following the trends in fashion (this year - a striped men's socks - last squeak).



19.

Before leading ether comes into the dressing room. Studio makeup is very different from the usual make-up. He is much stronger and live looks like a bust.

Leading Alice Hibbert is preparing to air. With a thermos and sandwiches brought in a bag, which is hidden under the table.

And on the screen look like cucumbers. They can look at myself on TV.

Continuity Application. There sit the director and his team. Director - is the person who is responsible for the video. Basically, it gives the command, and presses the buttons, in particular, it corresponds to the text to image. For example, if the master hesitated and the plot does not start, then the director fell asleep or click on the desired button.

In the foreground on the left sits sound. The air control also has a caption editor and prompter. Last lyrics are responsible for leading and even stress are arranged in compound words. So not only were the leading problems with the Icelandic volcano.

And here you can see more workplace director and screens in front of him. This is the hardware of the Spanish channel, but the principle of the same everywhere.

On the central monitor (at the time), you can see the air, on the right on the screen - straight and to the left - what will be the next on the air. Left and right are divided into plasma screens, any of them may be issued in the broadcasting control director - satellite signals, harvested plots, graphs, etc.

On the table is an intercom - a microphone through which the director is associated with a leading (remember the earpiece to the ear?) And the newsroom. It was from a leading director discovers that he is already in the air and on the team begins to speak. In English, the word "motor" to say "cue" (not "go", not "start", namely the "cue").

The hardware of the English Channel.

The Harris flock to all the signals of the hardware - are superimposed logos, broadcast graphics, ticker (scrolling text), and the signal is sent to the satellite, from which falls into our TVs

At the end of the tour, I spoke with Alexander Gurnovym who does not like modern technology in principle and even more blogs: "Journalism is not there, there is chatter, there's a blog, there is a tweet, there is anything."
