There are certainly lots of differences between being a "Professional" "Broadcaster" and "MC" viz "Master of Ceremony"
Each definitely has their ethical rules as per their respective assigned designation cum roles.
When each portfolio are now "tagged to a face" with a prefix of:"Professional" then much are expected from the "Public" plus "Employer" of each as per delivery of assigned responsibilities accordingly.
A Broadcaster is defined by "Oxford Dictionary" as "A person whose job is presenting or talking on Television or Radio program.
An "MC" however as an abrevation for "Master of Ceremony's" role is to coordinate an Event/ Ceremony. Usually said person introduce program outlined viz Guest or Entertainment program plus Entertainer's at a formal occasion. Hence an MC is that person who would coordinate said Event program, towards making it condusive and lively seamlessly.
Yes, Many Broadcaster can professionally operate both portfolio seamlessly, switching from one role as a Broadcaster to being an outstanding Master Ceremony, and even cracking up ribs with divers jokes towards making the day memorable for everyone present including his or her employer.
However for a Master Ceremony to operate as Broadcaster seamlessly without prior professional training in a Media Academy, Institution can be a disaster to the assignment's, designation and Media Organization that engaged such person. Why?
There are ethical rules for someone to be be engaged and seamlesslyv operate as Broadcaster and professional too.
Without said person undergoing training in Broadcast Institution, Academy, aside internship with Media Broadcast Organization's, how would those "ehics of diction flows and fluency", "grammatical comprehension delivery without intonation" be aquired?
How would camera acclimitassion be harmonize in said MC daring to operate as a Broadcaster?
Can the MC decode the essence of "5Ws and H" in News gathering and delivery when casting News or anchoring a TV Shows and Radio Programs?
I've come across many MC's brandishing themselves as Broadcaster and sadly many are being engaged by upcoming Broadcast Stations despite the obvious ommission of many not having undergone formal Broadcast Training Program's at recognized Institution, Institute, Academy, or even as certified/ acredited Internship Student. Hence many station are jokes not ONLY in Media circles but sadly at public domain where many Program's delivery are at lowest par in rating.
Many are however undergoing "Wuruwuru" PHD Accreditation" from "Suspecious Award Taunting Institute" whose aim is simply to generate belly abi stomach infastruftural agradismnent.
FIBAN with due respect has it's accredited and recognized Institute, spread across many States in Nigeria and I'm quite sure their "Training Program's and Certification" are quite worth ofvmvsaid FIBAN Association.
It would be a sad occurance, seeing any members receiving said foreign endorsement from a fictitious and suspected taunting Awadee Institute, who are creating false impression in the mind of receivers, who might be oblivious of public domain assessment.
I'm hereby challenging FIBAN Association to challenge this Awards and Recepients especially if members are part of FIBAN Association. Else this lousy Awards brandishing by some members would give reputable members with years of experiences as reputable Broadcaster would robbed off on to discredit them.
My one pence counsel.
