What 放送記者 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
主に取材を行う外勤記者は、取材した情報をニュース原稿にまとめ、カメラマンに指示して撮影したビデオ画像などと合わせて、放送局のニュースデスクに送る。番組放送中に現場からカメラや電話などを通じて生中継を行ったり、スタジオでカメラの前に立ってレポートすることもある。また、自らカメラ撮影を行いながら取材し、編集作業までする放送記者もいる。
一方、放送局でニュース番組作成のための演出や編集を行う内勤記者は、取材先から送られてきた原稿や映像データの編集作業を行う。取材内容によってニュースや解説、対談など様々な番組を作りあげる。放送素材の重要度を確かめ、内容を点検して簡潔にまとめ、限られた放送時間に収める。視聴者が理解しやすいように解説と画像の効果的な組合せを考え、アナウンサーやスタジオの技術・美術・照明スタッフと打ち合わせをし、放送に入る。突発的な事件などがあった場合には緊急ニュースを作成する。

Projections are not guarantees. How it is calculated →
