To become a news anchor, you need some training in journalism or mass communication. Moreover, to handle business news you do not require an MBA. To handle business news on TV, your maths background with a strong interest in business and commerce, along with a PG diploma in mass communication should help you qualify. An MBA degree is better suited to those who wish to get into a career in business, working with business houses and international corporations in marketing, finance and other specialisations. While you can get into news anchoring for TV after an MBA programme, to be successful in this field, you need to have good communication skills, the ability to express ideas concisely and with lucidity, have wide-ranging interests in general and in the business world in particular, stamina, a willingness to work hard at irregular hours and be good at inter-acting with all kinds of people.
