| dc.description.abstract | True that television anchors are the faces of television news channels; hence, they play crucial roles in shaping the image of their channel. This study proposed to assess the practice of TV news anchoring at TV stations in Ethiopia i.e. ETV, EBS and FANA TV. To find out the available data, qualitative research method has deployed. The study analyzes transcribed texts, an in- depth interview of three news department heads, nine news anchors, three editors, three studio directors, three feedback department heads of ETV, EBS and FANA TV. In total, 21 respondents have interviewed. Moreover, it used as primary sources vacancy advertisement of ETV, and Editorial policies of ETV, EBS and FANA. Draft guidelines of news anchors’ manuals have used. In addition, five days evening news hours on air performance anchors of each station have attended. The overall result findings show that ETV, EBS and FANA TV do not have a trend of skilled TV news anchors with accepted and standardized role, duty and job responsibilities. They lack clear working systems on the input of anchors in newsroom. And most of the TV anchors lack the knowledge of reading techniques and mechanics. (i.e. pitch, tone, emphasis and pause etc.). This study concludes that the stations give no attention for anchoring. Apart from this, there is no news anchors recruitment manual and guidelines. So, clearly enhancing TV news anchoring contribution to the overall outcome of the news department through introducing a clear job description and responsibilities of TV news anchors is very important. | en_US |
