[an invite from our colleague Seph Ubalde, who handles a class in Multimedia News in the department. In the daily TV Channel 5 morning show he uses a touchscreen to show the movement of weather patterns (he has also has the necessary background in weather news having participated in weather forecasting courses). A touchscreen makes a presenter look more skilled and less scripted – NBC’s Early Today uses it wall-size; on the other hand, a chroma or “green screen” does not have actual images and is animated by the tech staff to produce images for TV so the presenter is pretending – his/her eyes are glued to the studio monitor and the teleprompter while miming or aping the script.]
