Abstract

ABSTRACT The TV industry has long been under pressure to adapt its workflows to use advanced Internet technologies. It also must face competition from social media, video blogs, and livestreaming platforms, which are enabled by lightweight production tools and new distribution channels. The social-distancing regulations introduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic added to the list of challenging adaptations. One of the remaining bastions of legacy TV production is the live broadcast of sporting events and news. These production practices rely on tight collaboration in small spaces, such as control rooms and outside broadcast vans. This paper focuses on current socio-technical changes, especially those changes and adaptations in collaborative practices and workflows in TV production. Some changes necessary during the pandemic may be imposed, temporary adjustments to the ongoing situation, but some might induce permanent changes in key work practices in TV production. Further, these imposed changes are aligned with already ongoing changes in the industry, which are now being accelerated. We characterize the changes along two main dimensions: redistribution of work and automation.

自动化和工作再分配:社交距离对电视直播制作的影响

长期以来，电视行业一直面临着调整其工作流程以使用先进的互联网技术的压力。它还必须面对来自社交媒体、视频博客和直播平台的竞争，这些平台都是由轻量级的生产工具和新的分销渠道实现的。由于COVID-19大流行而引入的社交距离规定增加了具有挑战性的适应清单。遗留下来的电视制作堡垒之一是体育赛事和新闻的现场直播。这些生产实践依赖于小空间内的紧密合作，例如控制室和外部广播车。本文关注当前的社会技术变革，特别是电视制作中协作实践和工作流程中的变化和适应。大流行期间可能会强制实施一些必要的改变，对目前的情况进行临时调整，但有些改变可能会导致电视制作中的关键工作惯例发生永久性改变。此外，这些强加的变化与行业中已经发生的变化相一致，这些变化现在正在加速。我们从两个主要方面来描述这些变化:工作的再分配和自动化。

期刊介绍： Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary journal defining and reporting on fundamental research in human-computer interaction. The goal of HCI is to be a journal of the highest quality that combines the best research and design work to extend our understanding of human-computer interaction. The target audience is the research community with an interest in both the scientific implications and practical relevance of how interactive computer systems should be designed and how they are actually used. HCI is concerned with the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues of interaction science and system design as it affects the user.
