Reporting is often deemed one of the most challenging roles in journalism. In TV news reporting, the pressure of real-time, on-air broadcasting amplifies the difficulty, as reporters must think and react spontaneously while delivering the details of a story. However, sometimes, reporters make mistakes (such as slips of the tongue) on air, which can be embarrassing or even amusing for some viewers. A similar incident occurred with a TV news reporter from CNBC-TV18 on Tuesday (April 23).

A reporter named Ashmit, while reporting on the Patanjali case in the Supreme Court, goofed up and grew frustrated after mixing up his words. The reporter in frustration hurled an abuse while reporting on air. While the reporter was aware that he was reporting live, he ended up uttering an expletive while trying to correct himself. The reporter realised his mistake almost immediately but it was already too late.
However, the anchor came to the rescue of the reporter and immediately cut him off saying, “We will get back to that in a bit. We couldn’t hear you very well Ashmit.”
