Talk:Aline Abboud

'Present'
Hi, I think that the word 'present' in this line: "Since September 2021, Abboud presents Tagesthemen, a daily news magazine by ARD." should be switched to a different verb for the English article. I'm unsure what 'present' is supposed to mean in this context. Is she the editor? Does she perform the news like a broadcaster on television? I think a more clear verb would be effective.

 * The meaning I was thinking of is classed by Google dictionary as No. 3 in its entry on the verb 'to present'. Their example is "the Late Show was presented by Cynthia Rose". I would have considered this a standard usage of that verb but I'm open to alternative suggestions. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 13:36, 24 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Meaning like “hosts” or “performs”? As in she speaks and leads a show? Maybe the confusion is coming from the production- “a daily news magazine” to me is a written publication (like a newspaper or a printed magazine) so I wasn’t sure how that could be presented. Is what she is presenting a television broadcast or a written document? Apathyash (talk) 16:49, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a television show where she presents the news. You are right that it doesn't emerge very clearly from the article. I've added the word 'broadcast' to the lead to remedy this. In the body ARD is referred to as a "channel", so I'm guessing it's a bit clearer there. Modussiccandi (talk) 17:04, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
