Thin Air
While reporting live on location, there are several factors that are essential for journalists. One of those is being heard properly. This reporter was live at the GOP celebration after Ronald Reagan was elected for president. The producers wanted him to be right in the middle of the action. The only problem was that since it was so loud, he couldn’t hear himself. Not only that, but he couldn’t hear the man in his ear telling him he was live. After asking if they can hear him multiple times, the reporter becomes more and more frustrated. At one point he asked if he was “talking to thin air”. Well, no, they were listening all along.
