A television director directs the activities involved in making a television program and is part of a television crew.

Duties[link]

The duties of a television director vary depending on whether the production is live (as in a Television news or sports television event) or recorded to video tape or video server (as in a dramatic or interview production).

In both types of productions, the director is responsible for supervising the placement of professional video cameras (camera blocking), Lighting equipment, microphones, and props. In a dramatic arts production, the television director's role can be similar to that of a Film director, giving cues to actors and directing the video tape operator when to start and stop the Video tape recorder (VTR). In a television show composed of individual episodes, the television director's role may differ from that of a film director in that he or she may work only on some television episodes as opposed to be the auteur of the entire production. In an episodic television production the major creative control will likely reside with the Television producer(s) of the show. The television producer with creative control is called the showrunner.

Responsibilities[link]

This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. Specific concerns may be found on the talk page. See Wikipedia's guide to writing better articles for suggestions. (April 2011)

Other than quickly calling out commands, the television director is also expected to maintain order among the staff in the control room, on the set, and elsewhere.

A news studio might have multiple cameras and few camera movements. In a sports broadcast, the director might have 20 or 30 cameras and must continuously tell each of the camera operators what to focus on.

While the director is responsible for specific shots and other production elements, the producer (typically seated behind the director in the second row of chairs in the control room) coordinates the "big picture", including commercial breaks and the running length of the show.

Alastair Reid (born 22 March 1926) is a poet and a scholar of South American literature from Galloway in Scotland. He is known for his lighthearted style of poems and for his translations of South American poets Jorge Luis Borges and Pablo Neruda. Although he is famous for translations, his own poems are gaining note. He has lived in Spain, Switzerland, Greece, Morocco, throughout Latin America, and in the United States, where he was employed by The New Yorker magazine.

In 1984, in an interview in the Wall Street Journal, Reid admitted fabricating many details of his reporting from Spain for the New Yorker, including inventing places and ascribing statements to composite characters. He said these inventions were an attempt to present "a larger truth, of which facts form a part." ^[1] In his book, Whereabouts, Reid counters this article with the following:

These pieces were at the center of a curious storm that blew up in the American press during June of 1984. A year or so before, I had addressed a seminar at Yale University on the wavering line between fact and fiction, using examples from various writers, Borges among them, and from my own work. A student from the seminar went on to become a reporter and published a piece in the Wall Street Journal that charged me with having made a practice of distorting facts, quoting the cases I had cited in the seminar. Many newspaper editorials took up the story as though it were fact, and used it to wag pious fingers at the New Yorker. A number of columnists reproved me for writing about an "imaginary" Spanish village, a charge that would have delighted the flesh-and-blood inhabitants.... Not a single one of my critics, as far as I could judge, had gone back to read the pieces in question.

He has published more than forty books, including Ounce Dice Trice, a book of word-play for children (illustrated by Ben Shahn), and two selections from his works: Outside In: Selected Prose and Inside Out: Selected Poetry and Translations (both 2008).^[2]
