Gatekeeper- one who formats a message; adding to, editing, and or
arranging it to maximize it's accurate transmission from a sender to a
reciever. In the tv industry one type of gatekeeper is the Electronic
News Gathering (ENG) Editor. This person edits tape taken by the ENG
crew. The ENG crew work alongside reporters to capture events on tape
and to produce live,on-scene coverage of breaking news stories. In
addition to operating the video cameraand sound, ENG crews must also
operate sophisticated microwave and satellite transmission equipment
to "feed" programming or news segments back to the studio from remote
locations. ENG editors work with producers, reporters and writersto
build news packages from the raw tape sent in from the field or
gathered on feeds from networks or other sources.
How has the job of the ENG Editor changed from the early days of the
tv industry to today?
