    I get the impression that a lot of these on site reports, especially on
    radio, are done by a reporter with a smartphone, just put straight on
    air. In the case of the hostage exchange, it looked as though they were
    taking a feed from one of the organisations involved, with an amateur
    drone operator.

    I know people can get experienced in listening to a channel on the
    earpiece - listen to how people at NASA during the Apollo mission had
    several 'loops' running in their ear.  But cannot feeling the old system where someone back in a studio or control room was more in charge, was better.
