Editing Announcer (section)

==Radio==
===The role of the announcer in radio stations on air===
In some radio stations (mainly news), the announcers must have special skill, dexterity and agility when transmitting information.

An example of this is the news station [[Radio Reloj]], where the pages of two voices must have between 15 and 16 lines written, and those of one voice, between 13 and 15. If the information meets that requirement and the announcer from the beginning reads at an appropriate pace, must conclude at the exact minute. However, it may happen that some minutes the editors leave them a little long. Faced with this situation, the speaker accelerates the pace of his reading, in order to finish the text on time. Sometimes when the news is short, the announcer completes it with the so-called queues, which are important ephemeris, curious facts, congratulations to personalities. It may also be the case that information has the lines, in correspondence with its format, but has several points and followed. This implies that the announcer pauses, and has to speed up the reading rhythm to finish on the exact minute.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2013-01-12|title=La noticia en un minuto|url=http://www.radioreloj.cu/index.php/quienes-somos/53-radio-reloj-por-dentro/53-la-noticia-en-un-minuto|access-date=2021-02-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130112040414/http://www.radioreloj.cu/index.php/quienes-somos/53-radio-reloj-por-dentro/53-la-noticia-en-un-minuto|archive-date=2013-01-12}}</ref> In fact [[Mauricio Lomonte]], an announcer for this station, said:

{{quote|It's hard work, because other than knowing the extent of this radio station, you have to talk for an entire hour, reading the news at first sight, without some preparation first, it takes a lot from the announcers, that's why it needs a lot of experience, focus and interpretation when being on air.<ref>{{Cite web|title=70 años minuto a minuto|url=http://www.radiocubana.cu/articulos-especializados-sobre-la-radio/18153-70-anos-minuto-a-minuto|access-date=2021-01-25|website=www.radiocubana.cu|language=es-es|archive-date=2021-05-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210510020347/https://www.radiocubana.cu/articulos-especializados-sobre-la-radio/18153-70-anos-minuto-a-minuto|url-status=dead}}</ref>}}

===Others===
Radio announcers are often known as disc jockeys (DJs).  While some read from scripts, others completely ad-lib.  These DJs' tasks consist of on-air interviewing, taking/responding to listener requests, running contests, and making remarks about various subjects like the weather, traffic, sports, and other news.  Most radio announcers announce the artists and titles of songs, but don't necessarily choose what song airs on the radio.  Many stations have a management teams who select the songs ahead of time. Today radio stations have DJs update the station's website with music, guest interviews, show schedules, and photos.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.careeroverview.com/announcers-careers.html |title=Radio, TV and Sports Announcer Career, Jobs, and Training Information &#124; Career Overview |access-date=2012-04-16 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405082014/http://www.careeroverview.com/announcers-careers.html |archive-date=2012-04-05 }}</ref> Radio announcers are also known radio jockeys (RJ).
