I'm surprised we're seeing more of Reeta Chakrabarti on national news - I don't think she's very good, she seems uncomfortable and puts odd inflections in sentences, she almost sounds surprised! I've just seen her reading a question to a correspondent from a script too, where as most presenters ask a question (or questions, particularly on the news channel) based on their knowledge and understanding of a story.

Do presenters make up their own questions? I would of guessed main bulletins were scripted by themselves (e.g. Hue Edwards as I have seen in a Behind the scenes clip) & George Alagiah) or autocue, perhaps some presenters have read ahead and know the question without looking?

I'm sure that reporters often tell the presenters what they're going to say in order to decide the questions, or indeed write them themselves.

I agree to an extent, All of the News Channel presenters over the last few days (when Reeta's been on the nationals) would do just as good a job (or better) on BBC 1 IMO. Not sure why they bring in an extra presenter to do the nationals at the weekend , wouldn't it save money to use the News Channel presenter? Also , has Reeta appeared on the News Channel at all recently?
You can be pretty sure that any questions on the national bulletins are all scripted by the presenter/editor.
There is a certain amount of fluidity in Breakfast and on the News Channel given the different setup, but even then the basic questions will have been decided in advance by the editors.

Yes indeed. Quite often prompted by the director stuck in the presenters ear, especially if there's a specific avenue or take on the story they want covered.

Well it would be the editor doing the prompting rather than the director!

Last night's News at Ten was the first time I've seen Reeta presenting. I thought she was inappropriately cheery when reading the headlines/introducing the reports, especially the one on Iraq.
Looks like they havn't sent Tim Willcox to Rio yet as he's covering the 4-8 shift on the NC (his first NC Shift since the early shift on May 12th although i'm guessing he's been on World more recently.)
