A news anchor, also known as news presenter, is a person who presents news during a news program for instance on television. Below is a list with all comics where a news anchor is either shown speaking on the news or where "news anchor" is explicitly mentioned in xkcd. Click to expand for a more detailed explanation:
Explanation[edit]
On Wikipedia the primary term used is "News presenter", but various other job title names also redirect there. Randall has used the phrasing "news anchor" directly in 1086: Eyelash Wish Log, "news caster" in 727: Trade Expert and just "reporters" in 1368: One Of The. Another version of a news report could be with a roving reporter, reporting from the scene. Although that alternative has been seen to coexist in some of these comics below, it is always with a news anchor talking to the reporter from the studio, otherwise it would not have belonged in this category.
Cueball became the most used character, with 10 comics, for presenting news reports after 2965: Chili Tornado Quake. But, given that he is the most used character in general, it should be noted that the much rarer used Blondie seems to be the go to character for Randall when needing a news anchor. Blondie was the news anchor in the next such comic, 2984: Asteroid News, and tied Cueball for most times used as such, until she again stared in 3215: Solar Warning and moved to the top with eleven times in this role.
