I want to be a news anchor. Will it be possible if I choose mass communication?

A Bachelors degree in broadcast journalism or mass communications is required in order to become a news anchor. Please mention the name of the college for best help. Here are five steps that could lead you to the fairly exciting career of a news anchor - Get a degree or Diploma in journalism from a reputed institute. Get a job post that in a TV news channel. Work either in the news desk or as a reporter for a while Say maybe three months. Once you know people in the channel, you can express interest in anchoring. Practice anchoring and give a screen test. If you pass the test - yay! You are a news anchor now. If you don't. Keep practicing and give the test again after a few months. There are no standard steps to becoming a news anchor. But this is how most of my journalist friends became anchors.

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.
