    • 2004, Gary D. Robson, The Closed Captioning Handbook, Elsevier, page 177,
      Some captioners will raise or lower the captions in the center by one row to add one more subtle differentiation, but this is uncommon.
    • 2007, Ferguson's Careers in Focus: Broadcasting, 3rd edition, Ferguson (imprint), Infobase Publishing, page 123,
      In the broadcast setting, real-time captioners do not have to produce transcripts, which eliminates the long hours that go along with that aspect of reporting.
    • 2009 September 24, Mark Lawson, “The problems of subtitling the news”, in Guardian‎[1]:
