news reader

To act on television as one who reports the news, but in reality only reads scripts from a teleprompter.

As of this writing, real "reporters" are now hard to find in the USA and confined to "talk radio".

close reading

Reading a book or poem so carefully (while constantly referencing the OED), that you suddenly discover something "new and special" about one word in the poem. This word then magically allows you to write three paragraphs about its "new and special meaning." All the while during this "close reading," you will be contemplating suicide as your face, body, and mental thought process will hurt with the agony of forced close analysis.
Bob: I've got a twenty seven page paper due tomorrow on a four line poem.

Chris: Man you better do a close reading of that poem.
