Questions at Press conferences
Why is it you can never hear the questions at press conferences?
I've just been watching Arsene Wenger answering questions that I couldn't hear so it's not like it's a problem confined to AFL.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Because the reporters do not have microphones.

Re: Questions at Press conferences
I have heard the guys on SEN talk about this frequently. The thing is apparently it's not that hard to fix up the interview rooms at stadiums so that we c an hear the questions being asked. I think one of the problems is that the media all try and talk over each other and wouldn't want to wait for someone to pass the microphone around.

I was at the races last night and they played the protest live on the big screen. You could clearly hear the head steward asking questions etc, but could not hear the jockeys answers clearly!

Wouldn't be that hard to set up mics so you could hear reporter's questions. It wouldn't require an individual mic to be passed around.

You could set up a directional mic, but it would likely require someone to point it in the direction of the person speaking. Or you could set up a mic to pick up the whole room, but as well as hearing the questions, you're probably going to hear it everytime Robbo drops his guts.

Might be more interesting than his questions!

They could commentate pressers like they commentate parliament. "Robinson Herald Sun" "could the coach tell us..."

Would be the smartest thing I've ever heard uttered by any of his orifices.
Subtitling for TV/video, or a VoiceOver for radio. Wouldn't hurt.
