Anchorman course

Anchorman is a term used in the English language to indicate the host of a radio or television program, mostly of considerable cultural level, able to use qualified journalistic correspondences. The term anchor indicates the conductor's ability to coordinate the various journalists who take turns on video during the broadcast. For example, in the conduct of a news program, the anchorman keeps every moment of the program connected, personally managing the transition from political news to crime news and, from this, to the economy and then to sport. You often intervene between one service and another with personal comments, even impromptu. The term was coined in 1952 by Mr. Mickelson, news director of the CBS network. In 1951 Mickelson, thirty-seven, he had landed from CBS Radio to CBS Television. Television news reporting was still in its infancy at the time. Presidential elections were scheduled for 1952 and all Americans would follow the electoral campaign. Furthermore, for the first time, the congresses (conventions) of the two parties would be broadcast throughout the national territory, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, on live TV. Mickelson bet on the election campaign as the event that would launch news television in the United States. There was no tried and tested model for national events. The only precedent to refer to was information coverage during World War II. The US radio networks had sent a reporter to each theater of war.
