Anchor

Journalism has a lot of scope in the present scenario. From a small newspaper to a big news channel, journalists are considered the right hand of Media and the transparent shield to connect the Government with the public. Journalism today is more than an art of writing as it includes creative submission of the mindset and skillful passion towards your approach of the subjects as it is one of the most competitive field in the market at present. The scope is endless but you'll have to begin from small. Depending on the colleges/institutes you choose, exposure you get, the practical knowledge you attain will define most of your further future. You can become a TV journalist, print Journalist, radio Journalist, fashion journalist, cyber journalist and much more from deciding your field of interest. And this will further take you to the dreams of your second part of the question. A News Anchor these days is more than reading news from the Tele-prompter and saying what's flashing on the screen but more about how spontaneous one can keep a control of the situation to survive the anchoring field. Language is a plus point and you should be perfect in at least one of the languages that you speak. So, yes, a News Anchor is a path from Journalism and I hope you'll make sure to take it seriously. I hope you'll build an informed decision. Feel free to ask more for further queries. All the best.

Hi Aditya, This is interesting that TV Anchors don't become anchor's right from the first day they enter media or journalism. There is a long learning and practice period. I shall say that one becomes an anchor by Excellent Speaking Skills and Skill to manage in front of the Camera. Linguistic Skills and General Awareness also helps a lot I'm joining the career of Media. Remember that Courses are available in the TV Production, Radio Jockeying, Video Jockeying and News Anchoring as exclusive and a Degree which is comprehensive of the Media domain is also offered. The Pricing/Salary shall vary from INR. 10k - INR. 25k at joining a small channel, and then gradually you rise to get around INR. 50k. Further, growth in pricing is possible only when you are capable enough and get excellent growth opportunities.

Hi dear,
After joining the course of journalism and mass communication, each and every child have a dream to become a news anchor. But they don't know the ground reality for becoming a news anchor. Dear you have to do struggle for years to become a news anchor of any news channel. Firstly you have to learn the journalistic fundamentals after joining any news channel as intern. And you should have degree or Diploma in Journalism and Mass Communication or specifically in Broadcast journalism or news anchoring. You should have good knowledge of current affairs and happenings. You should have good command on language also. And most important confidence to talk on stage with audience on any issues or panelists. So all the best again if you have any doubt then let me know okay.

Hello Dear,
Definitely, it's possible if you choose mass communication. Because wherever you will apply for news anchoring, they will ask a graduation degree in mass communication or may be specifically in broadcast journalism or television journalism and production. After that when you will get the degree then, you can't be appointed directly as a news anchor. Firstly, you have to work in field for getting the better knowledge of field. Either it's a political beat or crime one.
You should have great knowledge of subject which has great impact on society or common man. When you will get the field experience and reporting ones, then maybe you can request or get a chance be as news anchor in news channel. But I think firstly you should start some regional channel or small one and try to make a good portfolio of news anchoring. Then only you can show case your profile in any news channel for getting the opportunity of news anchor.
