Features: This book discusses television hosts from the perspective of communication studies. There are many scholars worldwide who study radio and television hosts, and some have already achieved significant results. However, as the authors know, most people either approach the subject from a linguistic angle or from the perspective of performing arts, but few study it from a communication studies perspective. This book highlights communication science, particularly the concepts of interpersonal communication, and weaves these ideas throughout the entire book. Consistent with this, the title of the book is "300 Questions About Television Hosts" rather than "300 Questions About Television Program Hosts." This is because hosts are not just "hosting programs" but "hosting communication." The authors hope that readers will gain a deeper understanding while reading this book. Television program hosts emerged alongside television media. To become a qualified, even an outstanding, television host, they not only need the qualities of general media professionals but also the ability to stand alone! This book serves as a preparatory reading for those applying to broadcasting and hosting programs and is also a practical handbook for television hosts and on-camera reporters!
