    Dear,
    If you are graduate, then you can do Masters in Mass Communication or can do short term course or Diploma in broadcast journalism or news anchoring. But dear, still, you need a great knowledge to become a news anchor. Firstly you have to do some field work with senior journalist to understand the ground reality of Journalism and Media. Then only you can put your efforts to become a news anchor. So, you can start as intern with any news channel so that you just come to know about the fundamental requirements to become a news anchor.

    Hi, If you have a degree, you can enrol in a master's programme in mass communication, do a Certificate programme, short course, or Diploma in broadcast journalism, or work as a news anchor. To become a news anchor, though, you still require a wealth of information. For starters, you need to work on the ground with senior journalists to comprehend the realities of journalism and the media. Only then can you work hard to establish your career as a news anchor. In order to learn the essential skills needed to become a news anchor, you can begin by working as an intern for any news channel. All the best.

    You would generally need a degree in journalism. But if you have a good voice and respectability and command over language, most news channels don't look for a journalism degree anymore.
