Hi, The life of newsreaders and anchors is usually hectic. Working hours may vary according to the job and while some anchors work day shifts, others are required to work night shifts because news channels are usually on air 24 hours a day. Therefore, they have to be prepared to work for extended and irregular periods during the week, including weekends and public holidays. The profession pays well and at an average, a newsreader can expect up to 30,000 as a beginner. An established news anchor can expect a monthly salary ranging from Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 2,400,000.
