News Team Roles: Anchor Person


This is the person who manages and organises the others. The Anchor person on the "News team" is the frontsperson who ties together the role of the others. They will introduce the other roles like this: "and now over to our volcanologist, who will explain how eruptions happen .....".

As Anchor you will need to know a little bit about all the other roles of the members of your team. You need to plan the broadcast, and who is doing or saying what, and when. Make sure you have a good set for any filming your photographer does.

You should thoroughly go through the activities and sites in the Introductory Activities page.

You should help all the other team members, and make sure you understand what they are learning. You need to check with every single team member, every day, to see that they know what they are doing, and whether they need help.
