Explanation
On Wikipedia the used word is news presenter, but all the other points there. 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. But at the time of this category’s creation all comics with a news anchor has already been corrected to use that version, so thus this name has been chosen.
It lists all comics where a news anchor is either shown speaking on the news or if a news anchor is directly mentioned in the comic.
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 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.
