The
purpose of a Newsreader is to formerly present the news.
This means writing your own scripts, reading from an auto cue, and
speaking loud and clear. They are also required to do this without letting
their personal opinion come through - by keeping a straight face. The
audience will expect them to be presentable & smartly dressed. They need to
appear trustworthy. You need to believe them. Unlike other types of
presenters, newsreaders take on a more serious role. They have the largest
audience, and are under the most pressure to not mess up on live television.
A Chat-show Host is
essentially an interviewer. They need to be interested in people, and have a
large variety of tastes and interests so that they are well prepared when
interviewing their guests. They need to keep informed about popular culture and
the world around them so they know what questions to ask.
It
is not uncommon for a chat-show host to have their own show named after them. (eg, The
Graham Norton Show, The Jonathan Ross Show.) They need to have a
character that the audience won't get sick of. They also need to be
quick-witted so that they can ask questions on the spot, and make jokes when
relevant.
In
Comparison to other presenters, a chat-show host is probably the most
personable, very social. Due to the nature of their shows, they are usually the
funniest, socially able type of presenter.
