Hi Mahmoud

Being a news anchor is not easy as you might think. Anchors should have specific skills that make them trusted.

I think that anchor must have great language skills. Grammer, syntax, pronunciation,tone and storytelling ability. Also,interview skills are a must. Anchors meet lots of specialists so he should know about the topic discussed in depth to ask good questions that will attract the audience and the viewers.

Hope this will help!
