Roles+and+Responsibilities

In this class, we will need to work in groups. In these groups their will be many responsibilities, these are just a few. These jobs should rotate within the group.

Producer
The Producer is the group leader. This role overseas the information and timing of the broadcast. As our shows will be in two formats (30 minute and 1 hour), this is the person that has the final say as to what will happen in the broadcast. In planning for the broadcast, this is the individual who runs meetings, discusses jobs and research, and delegates jobs to group members. This is the person who makes sure that all people in the group are working collaboratively, the Running Sheet has been completed, and that broadcast deadline will be met. The Producer can also be part of the Presenters and / or Panel Operator.

Presenter
The Presenter is the people that are reading and voicing the broadcast. These people are to research items and write items for broadcast. These items could be: Scripts are important, and should be discussed with your teacher or the station manager. It is important that your presentation is appropriate for broadcast. As a general rule, if you feel that your idea could be taken the wrong way, DISCUSS IT BEFORE BROADCAST with your teacher.

Panel Operator
The Panel Operator is the person that makes the sound go to broadcast. This person makes sure that there is enough music, and sponsorship (advertisements) for the broadcast. The Panel Operator needs to ensure the proper volumes are balanced between all items put to air. This includes music from CD player (or other device), Microphones, and recordings. This role is somewhat technical, and is easier done for beginners, as a non-speaking role. In planning, this person should be making sure that all music and recordings are available, and that the timing for all music has been given to the Producer.
