news reader

Television news host

A news reader is a person who reads news bulletins on radio or television—the British term for what Americans typically call an anchor or newscaster.

The term emphasizes the reading function rather than journalistic authority.

News reader also refers to software applications that aggregate and display news feeds or articles from multiple sources: I use a news reader to keep up with tech blogs.
