Many employers prefer news anchors with a Bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism, mass communication, or journalism, although communications and similar majors are acceptable. The coursework for these programs is liberal arts-based with a mixture of writing classes and speech classes. If specializations or minors are available in broadcasting, a student may need to complete the applicable classes in order to become familiar with television news and production.

Hi, It's a pretty difficult job to get, but the path is somewhat straight forward: Before everything, get a degree in journalism. 1 - With a degree in Journalism; get a job as a reporter at a TV station in the middle of nowhere. Do anything and everything to get on air as much as possible. 2 - Compile a reel of all your best times on-air, submit this to TV stations at slightly less middle of nowhere markets. 3 - Once you have moved at least once, and find yourself in a place you could deal with living in for a while, and where the current on-air talent is old or weak, set to becoming an anchor for the local news, on any show, including the 5am stuff. Make sure to kick ass when any real news happens. Repeat Step 2 as Necessary.
