Obviously the production team arrived at work first, before the Newesreaders, and they lost out. Its called "hot desking".

I did a course on presentation techniques and I think it is a method of removing any physical barrier to promote togetherness but as we can't have a dialogue with them perhaps not.

cut backs?

[andy-hughes]

It's a part of the evolution of television. A notion that someone sitting behind a desk can be seen as an authority figure 'lecturing' instead of imparting information.

It has reached ludicrous proportions with the Channel 5 News - they either have to perch on benches so uncomfortable and ugly that no sane person would contemplate going near them, or else they are standing leaning against a piece of set half-way up the studio wall, appearing to have been caught short nipping to the loo!
