The term anchor (sometimes anchorperson, anchorman, or anchorwomen) was coined by producer
Don Hewitt. Its first usage was on July 7, 1952 to describe Walter Cronkite's role at the democratic
and Republican National Conventions. According to Hewitt, the term was in reference to the "anchor
leg" of a relay race.

What does the news anchor do?

• Analyzing and interpreting news and information received from various sources in order to be able
to broadcast the information.
• Writing commentaries, columns, or scripts, using computers.
• Examining news items of local, national, and international significance in order to determine topics
to address, or obtain assignments from editorial staff members.
• Coordinating and serving as an anchor on news broadcast programs.
If you are confident and well spoken and would like to use your vocal talent maybe even on screen, then
why not consider working as a media presenter? Radio and television presenters announce a variety of
programs from news bulletins through to sports events.

Imagine your voice being heard by people, or your face seen on television screens, as you read the
news or perhaps introduce a popular television show. This is a regular experience for media presenters
who announce music and entertainment programs, make community announcements, read news
bulletins, do voice overs for commercials, or write their own scripts and conduct interviews. Radio
presenters do much the same thing on radio.

To be successful as a media presenter, a clear speaking voice is a must, as is a good understanding of

the English language. A broad general knowledge and an interest in current affairs will also be helpful.
