Last Thursday, journalism and media production majors were given the chance to read off a television anchor's best friend, the teleprompter.
We stared awkwardly into the camera with our furrowed eyebrows as we tried to hammer out the pronunciation of Richer, Recchi and Ricci in order.
But more importantly, we gained the respect of television anchors who have to rely on these things every single weeknight. And when difficulties with the teleprompter occur, the professionalism that these anchors show to keep things flowing well is off the charts impressive.
And as Steve Vogelsang pointed out, we should understand the importance of solid straight forward writing on the teleprompter.
Which brings me to my all-time favourite moment involving a teleprompter...
The great Bill O'Reilly.
Enjoy.
