How it's used
While originally referring specifically to television news anchors, the term has expanded significantly in the digital age to include live streamers on platforms like TikTok or Instagram. When used in this modern context, it often implies someone hosting a live broadcast rather than a professional journalist reading the news. The pronunciation and articulation requirements mentioned in traditional contexts are less relevant for social media streamers.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 記者, which specifically means a reporter or journalist who goes out into the field to gather news. An anchor stays in the studio to present, whereas a reporter is typically on location.
