Randall has used the phrasing “news anchor” Randall directly in [[1086: Eyelash Wish Log]], news caster in [[727: Trade Expert]] and just reporters in [[1368: One Of The]].

+ | Several different characters have represented such a news anchor, but [[Blondie]] is by far the most used for this task compared to how often she is used in general. She even beats Cueball with 6 vs. 5 at the time this category was created (after comic [[1731]]). This is because especially in the three most recent comics with news anchors she has been used. This category was partly started because of [[1699: Local News]] based on this [[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#New_character_category_for_blonde_woman_news_reporter_.28from_1699.29|community portal discussion]]. [[Hairy]] has been presented twice and [[Ponytail]] once, and in one comic the term News Anchor has just been mentioned by [[Black Hat]]. | ||
