newscaster

Television report presenter

A newscaster is a person who reads or presents news on radio or television.

The term emphasizes the broadcast delivery rather than the reporting or gathering of news: The newscaster announced breaking developments from the scene.

Newscasters may or may not be journalists themselves—some are trained reporters, others primarily read scripts prepared by others.
