A person who works in radio and television, in this case as a presenter, doesn't just have to have good reading and diction. But rather have a striking personality.

since the internet is introduced to everyone of every age now days, few people will be on the TV screens reporting but rather, will post whatever is happening via the internet and by so doing a few people will be pinned on TVs.
