News Presenter/ Newscaster/ Newsreader
A news presenter is, broadly speaking, a person that presents a News Show on Television, Radio or the Internet. The term is not commonly used by people in the industry as they tend to use more descriptive, and sometimes country-specific, terms. Examples include "newsreader", "newscaster", and "news anchor" or "news presenter".
Newscaster
A newscaster is a presenter of a news bulletin who is himself or herself a working journalist and news gatherer, and a participant in compiling the script to be delivered in a news bulletin.
News anchor
A news anchor is a television/radio personality who presents material prepared for a news program and at times must improvise commentary for live presentation. The term is primarily used in the United States and Canada. Many news anchors are also involved in writing and/or editing the news for their programs. Sometimes news anchors interview guests and moderate panels or discussions. Some provide commentary for the audience during parades and other events.
A News Anchor is the most prominent figure on any newscast. At most stations the Anchor has a myriad of duties along with presenting the news. Evening Anchors generally take part in the afternoon story meeting and can often act as managers in the absence of the News Producer (Producer means the producer of the current bulletin of the news chief himself in case of the smaller unit of news as radios in Nepal ). Before each newscast the anchor will not only write stories but proofread copy and edit it to his or her own reading style. The Anchor also works with Producers & Reporters during the construction of the newscast. While the News Anchor must be a skilled reader, the person must also be adept at adlibbing during breaking news. Weekend, Morning and Noon Anchors may have a more hands-on role in producing and writing their newscasts.
A News Anchor generally has a background as a reporter but many anchors have started on the desk. The job demands excellent writing skills, solid news judgment, an outgoing personality, a quick wit, and a willingness to get involved in the community. The station will often send an anchor as a representative to various affairs.
