While there aren’t any specific educational requirements for entry into this occupation, most employers prefer to hire job candidates who have a bachelor’s degree in journalism or communications.

Expect stiff competition for jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts little or no growth in employment for news anchors between 2016 and 2026. Employment of reporters will decline by 10% during that period. Since aspiring anchors typically break into the business as reporters, entering the news broadcasting field will be challenging.

Make yourself a more competitive job candidate by getting a lot of experience while in college. Those who have completed internships and worked for college news outlets, including newspapers, and radio and television stations, will be the most desirable applicants.

D Sawyer

Lila Diane Sawyer (/ˈsɔːjər/; born December 22, 1945) is an American television broadcast journalist known for anchoring major programs on two networks including ABC World News Tonight, Good Morning America, 20/20, and Primetime newsmagazine while at ABC News. During her tenure at CBS News she hosted CBS Morning and was the first woman correspondent on 60 Minutes.

Prior to her journalism career, she was a member of U.S. President Richard Nixon‘s White House staff and assisted in his post-presidency memoirs. Sawyer attended Seneca High School in the Buechel area of Louisville. She served as an editor-in-chief for her school newspaper, The Arrow, and participated in many artistic activities. She always felt, however, that she was in the shadow of her older sister, Linda.

In 1967, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in English from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. She was a member of the Wellesley College Blue Notes, an a cappella-singing group, and Phi Sigma Lecture Society. She attended one semester of law school at the University of Louisville before turning to journalism.

She eventually became an assistant to Jerry Warren, the White House deputy press secretary. Initially, Sawyer wrote press releases and quickly graduated to other tasks like drafting some of President Richard Nixon‘s public statements. Within a few months, she became an administrative assistant to White House Press Secretary Ron Ziegler and eventually rose to become a staff assistant for U.S. President Richard Nixon

Sawyer continued through Nixon’s resignation from the presidency in 1974 and worked on the Nixon-Ford transition team in 1974–1975, after which she followed Nixon to California and helped him write RN: The Memoirs of Richard Nixon, published in 1978. She also helped prepare Nixon for his famous set of television interviews with journalist David Frost in 1977

Years later, Sawyer would be suspected of being Deep Throat, the source of leaks of classified information to journalist Bob Woodward during the Watergate scandal. In 2005, Deep Throat was identified as W. Mark Felt, but prior to that, Rabbi Baruch Korff – a longtime Nixon confidant and defender known as “Nixon’s rabbi” – said on his deathbed that he believed Sawyer was Deep Throat. Sawyer laughed it off and became one of six people to request and receive a public denial from Woodward.

In 1984, she became the first female correspondent on 60 Minutes, a CBS News investigative-television newsmagazine.

On April 29, 1988, she married film and theatre director, producer, and actor Mike Nichols. They had no children. Nichols had two daughters and a son from previous marriages. He died on November 19, 2014, at the age of 83.
