live shot
On-air field report
A live shot is a television news segment broadcast in real time from a location outside the studio, typically with a reporter on scene: We're going live to our correspondent at the courthouse.
The term emphasizes the unedited, as-it-happens nature of the broadcast, distinguishing it from pre-recorded packages.
Live shots are standard for breaking news and remote reporting.
