Ive Got A Yellow Line Down The Lift Side Of My Pages Document On Screen And It Won

If news anchors read teleprompters to deliver the news, then why do they have stacks of paper on the desk in front of them?

I wondered the same thing until I got a job anchoring the overnight news (World News Now) at ABC News in New York. I coanchored this with Aaron Brown and, later, with a very young Anderson Cooper.The papers do serve a useful purpose. They are hard copies of the scripts you and/or the writers have typed up to scroll live for you on the teleprompter. You typically look at these copies before prompter rolls during every commercial break so you can (re)familiarize yourself with it and practice any hard to pronounce words that could mangle you live on air.You might also read through it and find last minute changes you want or need to make to the script for accuracy or ease of reading, adding notes for yourself and asking writers via IFB to make the additions for you on the electronic prompter copy you'll read from.You don't want to be stumbling around when you are live -- what's on the prompter should never be new to you. A good review, even if you originally wrote it, is key befre you go live.Also, you use these papers so you can follow long during the course of a live broadcast. If the prompter freezes or goes wiggy -- and that happens ALL the time -- you have a hard copy you can switch to without losing a beat, or much of one.There is also usually a prompter screen built down into the desk, which you have to look directly down at. That also serves as a monitor -- and a hair mirror for many a anchor : ) The papers cover the glare from that up.Mostly, though, the paper copies of the script you refer to are just plain old props. They help you to look kind of busy after the final outro and when credits roll, when the cameras have you and your coanchor in the wide shot. That's when you typically stack them up, act like you are taking notes on them,  smile knowingly at the other anchor, toss it behind you merrily, whatever.

How do I read Economic Survey for civil services exam?

A2A for a similar question, putting it here.I assume that before going through Economic Survey which can be a heavy read since it is one of the official policy documents of GOI , you have read 12th NCERT Macroeconomics book.This time there is only one part released with 14 chapters till now (owing to the preponement of budget). There are abundant summaries available in the market, but your one-time effort of 2 days to read the actual document first is needed too.Focus on boxes and chart trends . Not so much on figures barring basic macros. Skip line-by-line reading.Chapters on Demonetization (3) , PARA (4) and UBI (9) should be focussed upon for both prelims type and Mains questions.Just jot down a couple of key takeaways once you done reading 2-3 pages at a stretch.Make sure your note-taking shouldn't exceed one side of an A4 size sheet (at max, some can be done in half a page) for each chapter. For sample, here is how I made a summary for UBI. Focus on keywords.Don't wrack your brains much for chapters 5 and 6 as they are highly technical. Economic researchers need that data not you. Just read summaries on first page.Quickly go through Chapters 7, 10, 11, 12, 13. Skip the illustrations that get repetitive. Content-wise they are not intense.Chapters 1 and 8 are important and can be read together, as they talk about macroeconomic scenario and outlook, with sector-wise analyses and trends.But again, don’t fall in ‘data-trap’ or try to memorize.Chapter 14 is a good read on competitive sub-federalism and more relevant for Mains. For prelims, Know schemes and their differences well which are mentioned here (AMRUT, HRIDAY etc).Target this work in 2 -3 days at max. You would have 6-7 sheets for revision which can be easily done a couple of times before exam .Good luck.
