- A news anchor, also known as news presenter, newsreader, newscaster (short for "news broadcaster"), anchorman or anchorwoman, or simply an anchor – is a person who presents news during a news program for instance on television.
- Here is a lists with all comics where a news anchor is either shown speaking on the news or where "news anchor" is directly mentioned in the comic.

Explanation
On Wikipedia the used word is news presenter, but all the other points there. Randall has used the phrasing “news anchor” Randall directly in 1086: Eyelash Wish Log, news caster in 727: Trade Expert and just reporters in 1368: One Of The. But at the time of this category’s creation all comics with a news anchor has already been corrected to use that version, so thus this name has been chosen.
Several different characters have represented such a news anchor, but Blondie is by far the most used for this task compared to how often she is used in general. She even surpassed Cueball with 6 vs. 5 at the time this category was created (after comic 1731). This because especially in the three comics with news anchors just before this category was created she was used. This category was partly started because of 1699: Local News based on this community portal discussion. Hairy has been presented twice and Ponytail once, and in one comic the term News Anchor has just been mentioned by Black Hat.
Since then Cueball has caught up with Blondie, so after 2080: Cohort and Age Effects they have both been representing a news anchor seven times. But at that tiome Cueball has been in 1305 comics vs. Blondie's only 32!
Another version of a news report could be with a reporter, reporting form the scene. Although that have been seen in some of these comics below, it is always with a news anchor talking to the reporter from the studio. Else it would not belong in this category. Examples of comics only with reporters can be listed here for reference:
- 1487: Tornado - (Cueball)
