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.

Hello Dear,
Definitely, it's possible if you choose mass communication. Because wherever you will apply for news anchoring, they will ask a graduation degree in mass communication or may be specifically in broadcast journalism or television journalism and production. After that when you will get the degree then, you can't be appointed directly as a news anchor. Firstly, you have to work in field for getting the better knowledge of field. Either it's a political beat or crime one.
You should have great knowledge of subject which has great impact on society or common man. When you will get the field experience and reporting ones, then may

Dear, If you are seriously focused to become a TV anchor, then I don't recommend you for going a full time Bachelor or master programme of media course. You can do short-term course of TV production and TV anchoring. Then, you just join as intern in news channel, so that you can get exact and real exposure of anchoring. Because I think, no institute will give you a real exposure of anchoring which is done by professionals in news channels. They exactly know the difficulties of this area and how to overcome all such things. So, real exposure can get through only internship in any news channel.

Hi,
The best way out is to first pursue a graduation/post-graduation in Journalism. Doing so, will hone your Video Jockeying skills and will also provide you a platform to get a placement in channels/event companies of sorts.

A video jockey must be articulate, confident and self-assured. They must also be very comfortable around other people, and have a significant amount of General knowledge to be able to talk about whatever they are focusing on. Most video jockeys also have a background in both production and camera to be able to supervise their own edits.

Yes, a student with PCM background can apply for BAJMC programme in good Universities. But, what is imperative is to understand what being a journalist entails. Curiosity, willingness to work hard, storytelling and using "Why chaining" when it comes to news. It is a creative line of work that involves being in line with current affairs and a sense of objectivity and facts. If you feel you love all these aspects, then journalism is an amazing choice. My advice would be to focus on being a good well-read journalist before you think of being an TV anchor. All top notch TV news anchor you see today are first journalists.
