Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "news anchor" connotes someone who is informed, articulate, good looking, and well dressed while delivering the news on television. While some news anchors may work for NBC, CBS, ABC, or PBS, not all news anchors do. Similarly, while news anchors may report, predict, speculate, or analyze the news, these are not necessarily inherent to the term "news anchor." Finally, while some famous news anchors may include Katie Couric, Brooke Baldwin, Brian Williams, or Jim Lehrer, not all news anchors are necessarily well-known public figures.
