Meanwhile, Mr. Ashraf Ali gave us a tour of the newsroom. The students got to see a studio and learnt about the importance of the room lighting and camera placement required for the setting. They were also shown the significance of a teleprompter which is required for the newsreader to present the news. Along with explaining the concepts of input and output, the students were also exposed to the working of both the Production Control Room and Master Control Room.
It was indeed a very insightful and knowledgeable experience for the students to actually see the workings of a news channel and understand the technicalities of that work environment.
