Newsreaders or presenters usually work for news on television channels but can also work for the radio or internet. Newscasters on the other hand usually specialize in a particular type of news such as sports or weather. Additionally, newsreaders must not only be able to read, but also write. They should be able to write and prepare news stories from their own research and be familiar with the nitty-gritty of situations in order to deliver the news with confidence. Newsreaders may also be asked to add commentary to their readings and sometimes act as reporters or journalists. A News anchor may be responsible for writing his or her own news copy, operating the control board, and conducting investigative journalism. Larger stations have separate newscasters for each section of the news, and personnel are made available to assist in researching and writing news stories. The job may also require on-air interviewing, conducting panel discussions, debates & other talk shows. Being knowledgeable and well-read is key to being successful in this career.
