Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenesthe TV cameramenhave no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (贪得无厌的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agenciessuch as Reuters and WTNhave never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.56. TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to .

TV cameramen should be given grater choice of work D. the development of TV resulted in the growing demand for TV cameramens work59. According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies .
