My favourite TV News Anchors………

There are serious issues to be debated when it comes to our electronic media. When we were young our parents always encouraged us to watch the news. I don’t think it is a very good idea now. We should clearly specify which news channel we would like them to watch. Crime reporter should be somebody who has some knowledge of law and is trained to be investigative journalist. This is not the norm anymore. On Star news the anchor of ‘Sansani’ looks more dangerous than the criminals. Same is true about the Zee News Crime reporter. Channels like India TV incorporate sex is into every story possible. What is this?

I would like to mention some anchors and reporters who are doing an excellent job. I am really proud that these Indian journalists are as good as the best in the world. To name a few-

Barkha Dutt-NDTV ( excellent war time covering during the Kargill war). All the programmes that she anchors are worth watching;you don’t mind watching the repeat telecast because she is anchoring it. My mother once said- any mother would be proud to have a daughter like her.
Rajdeep Sardesai- CNN-IBN- very very objective. He raises the bar for news anchoring. He was fearless while covering the Gujarat riots. I like his election coverage also.

Pankaj Pachori- NDTV India- one Hindi channel not involved in yellow journalism. One of those few anchors who have made Hindi news reporting interesting.

Kamal Khan- this reporter of NDTV India is a pleasure to hear and watch. Excellent control over Hindi and Urdu. I don’t know if he writes himself, but the content of his reports is amazing. Never mind the topic, he makes everything  so interesting.

  1. For the last 6 years, I haven’t watched TV. Everyone in the hostel wants to watch different channels. I keep out.

  2. Good boy :) your parents would be very proud of you. Although everything is not bad about TV.

  3. I had an experience to watch Barkha in the special independence day program. Is she this annoying every time or did she woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. Because she was trying to put her words in the mouth of her guests.

    Maybe its the style ie common there because I think an anchor person should also listen to the point of view that he/she disagrees with.

  4. //the anchor of ‘Sansani’ looks more dangerous than the criminals//

    Ha ha ha!!!

    Of course, no list would be complete for me without mentioning Karan Thapar.

    • suren75

      Ido admire thier capability as anchor which u have mentioned…but u cant exclude Vinod dua..i think he in his own class,really different and good commend on HINDI langauge.

  5. I am surprised Ammar normally Barkha Dutt is a good listener. unfortunately I couldn’t watch that particular programme. That progarame had Dr Shahid Masood who is a person of strong opinions and other than him, there were other important guests too in the programme, I guessed that it would have been an interesting programme to watch.
    Mahendrap Karan Thapar is rude at times and that is why he is out of my list. He doesn’t let the guest finish his answer.

  6. r u in love with ndtv and cnnibn ? they reak of political bias !
    ndtv news quality is good only if u read between the lines

    1. they are flawless newsreaders…and debaters and yes kamals shairi is good but thats it
    2. very bad journalists as they think no end of themselves and are experts in all topics
    ammar i second u abt barkha she is no different from rajdeep
    3 on ndtv the journos best i like is nidhi kulpatti as she is most balanced and also some of the reporters on profit like Nikunj Dalmia etc are good

    i prefer foreign news channels mostly France24 as i find their reporting very poignant and interesting

  7. You are absolutely right Prax. I am in love with NDTV and CNN-IBN. I like NDTV profit as well and Nikunj Dalmia is good. I confess liking Kamal because of the language.
    Among the foriegn channels I watch CNN and BBC. I find CNN biased. I don’t understand much French so can’t comment on that. I am addicted to BBC. Old habbits die hard. Most Hindi channels are useless. It hurts because I am a Hindi speaking person but it is all about yellow journalism.

  8. Rajdeep Sardesai is more concerned with noisemaking stories and not newsmaking stories. Often he stirs issues in irrelevant areas just to cause more harm than good. Is he a news reporter or a news analyst? Its hard to do both, the former is really a objective job, the later isnt.

  9. Oh aunty, it’s not the good boy thing. I don’t watch because I can’t watch at my leisure. :)

  10. prerna
    in india every channel is biased some to the party in power and some to regional parties – research V Karat and Mrs Basu to get ndtv s true affiliation.
    infact most jnu educated people including historians and media folks are biased towards a lal salam

    f24 is a french govt autonomous channel like the bbc
    they have both french and english broadcasts on the net – go google

    france24 unlike bbc(biased towards britain and pakistan) or cnn or most others is relatively biased only towards the french – so the world news they telecast is rather clear of bias as french are no more major players
    Rajdeep the cathedral n foreign educated son of a cricketer and a times journalist is nothing compared to his wife , the daughter of an ex dd honcho – she is one of the worst
    ever media persons

      Please send me the kink were I found all this.
      jetinsurat@gmail.com

  17. Thank Aarthi,Raaj Mishra,Archana.

  18. vishal

    kamaal khan is the best hindi tv reporter.

  19. Rajdeep Sardesai is hardly objective! He is one of the most opinionated guy and just cant get it when the other person wants to give his viewpoint. He is a victim of his own thoughts.

    Barkha Dutt.. there is some debate whether Barkha did justice to the war time coverage.. some of that was faked.. and not the first hand account anyways.. worse some say it was manipulated as well!

    To me, NDTV is a leftist mouthpiece and they do not deserve to be rated anywhere in the top guys.

    In my book, Rini Simon (khanna); Ramu Damodaran; Neethi Ravindaran, Salma S (??) – for Hindi.. still remain the tops always.

  20. ansh 9

    Well friends ! I am new to this forum.. Anyways,
    since the topic of discussion is about NDTV Profit,
    i would be pleased to give my own comments on this topic.. well guys ! for me, NDTV profit anchors
    r far more better than those of CNBC.. Have u guys
    watched the morning show by the name of BUY OR SELL on NDTV Profit ? Did u saw that preety
    newsreader – ANISHA NAYAR DHAWAN ?
    She is definitely the best of all English newsreaders on t.v… In addition to being cute, her english is also perfect… the thing is that she resembles me cent percent in looks… miracle yeh !!
    but thats the reality guys ! she had worked for dd news , HT and Sahara one before joining NDTV
    Profit in mid-2007…. Take my word u all out there-
    ANISHA NAYAR DHAWAN is simply the BEST…….

  21. Abhishek Kumar

    Please join the newly formed community on Kamal khan in orkut. The Community has his picture owned by Abhishek Kumar.

  22. Good news anchors are a rarity now….most of them speak in over dramatic voices..just now I saw star plus covering the Aarushi murder case and when he was saying “India’s number one murder mystery” it was sounding like he was selling some product. Also most of them use Hinglish in reporting like “theoriya” (theories) !!!!! I wonder have they really done course in journalism or not? One weather reporter on NDTV was speaking errr errr err after every sentence!!

  23. ansh 9

    Yes ! I totally agree with you Reema …
    Its true that Good news anchors are a rarity now …
    However , there are some good news readers who are fluent in their english and its alwayz a pleasure to hear news bulletins from them …..
    Anisha Nayar Dhawan of NDTV Profit , Mark Lynn
    of DD News , Avantika Singh of Headlines Today &
    Nidhi Razdhan of NDTV 24×7 are some of the best
    newsanchors who have revolutionalized the Indian News Media …. Kudos to all of them ……..

  27. Welcome Diwakar, I am not sure about Vinod Dua, he seems to be biased at times. The other two are nice.

  28. ansh9

    Anisha Nayar Dhawan is the best of all ………

  29. Rajdeep

    If you think anyone on NDTV is objective, you guys are just plain dumb. Rajdeep Sardesai, Barkha Dutt, Karan Thapar and the gang are puppets for the channels that pay them to ask questions with loaded terminologies, so deceiving and derogatory, that I wonder why people even interview with them.

    And you Indians are slaves of the western world. If Indian journalism is so biased today, it’s because the masses don’t have a voice. If they did, people like Karan Thapar would be forced to talk without clenching teeth for every damn thing. Shame on Indian media.

    I want to say to Kamal khan that today you reported a news about Mulayam Singh and congress friendship and exampled Mutaa ,and you said it was a practice of Shiyaz, but infact it was a Islamic Practice, which was rejected later, and you did make the joke of Islam.

  44. Imran Mirza

    Afsha Anjum Is very very good Anchor

  45. When it comes to objectivity in media very few journalists abide by this fundamental requisite.
    I think, every news channel, like newspapers, are affiliated to political parties, their news analysis has hidden agendas which is unperceivable by a common man.

    However, amidst this yellow journalism age in Indian media, very few have been able to retain the true journalistic flavour.

    Rajdeep- okay but sometimes he does blow things out of proportions.

    Barkha-any adjective won’t be able to match her grandeur in journalism.

    Nidhi Razdhan- jr Barkha

    but guys there exists quite a handful of quality journalists beyond private television channels too. Have u ever cared to watch DD, Lok Sabha?

  46. I am glad you mentioned DD, Priyanka. There are some very good anchors there. Have you ever watched the proagramme anchored by Mrinal Pande? I guess it is called ‘Baton baton main’. She is really good and you will especially like her if you like Hindi.

  47. SHISHIR

    BARKHA DUTT IS MY FAVOURATE NEWS ANCHOR

  48. NEELENDRA

    ritul josi and deepak chaurasia ismyfavourate

  49. Gurpreet

    Afsha Anjum is a Very very good anchor

  50. Joe Kickass

    barkha dutt is very good at socializing… she hardly ever strikes me as a journalist.

    im not really fond of any of the reporters on indian television and there alice in wonderland / everything’s fine chit chat.

    the only dude i like to watch is karan thapar. i can put every indian reporter in one single bottle but karan deserves his own bottle. karan thapar is the only cure for our hard minded politicians.

  51. Raj Tiwari

    Afsha anjum,Sikta,Ragini kumar Good Anchor

  52. @ Joe Kickass, Karan Thapar tends to be rude many times. The other problem with him is that he doesn’t let the person speak. An interviewer needs to be a good listener.

  53. sanat

    Afshaji ki gugly,nikhil naj ji ki khel india anchoring
    bahut achha lagta hai

  54. Welcome Sanat. I like Afshah Anjum too.

  55. SHISHIR KR DAS

    RAHUL KAWAL IS MY FAVOURATE NEWS ANCHOR CUM JURNALIST . HE IS FLOWLESS WHEN HE CAME TO TV SCREEN ..MOREOVER HE IS LOOKING LIKES ME ..AND M SURE ONE DAY I WILL JOIN HIS PLATE FORM …..

  57. Rajdeep Sardesai- CNN-IBN
    Claps !!!

  58. Deep

    Welcome pr3na- I like Afshah Anjum too

  59. Ranjeet

    I like presentation skills of NDTV Anchors, but only if they were unbiased and were more objective.

  60. Pardesi

    Niharika Chugh is very beautiful and sexy.

  61. RAM

    barkha dutt is doing an amazing job. Anchors like sreenivasan jain and nidhi are equally good.

  62. Barkha was good initially but now she is going overboard ..

  63. Shikhar

    someone asked where priyanka pruthi was- i found out that she in new york. I have found her video clips on NDTV but do you know how i can turn them into still images so i can post them online

  64. No doubt, Sikta Deo is very good. I like her a lot. Why am I attracted to her and what is the depth my attraction, I don’t know but I like her a lot. May God give her every success in her life. Sikta Deo is the best News reader in the universe.

  65. VINOD NAGAR

    I LIKE TO LISTEN KAMAAL KHAN AND HIS WAY OF REPORTING, THE TRUTH HE SPEAKS THE PAINS HE FEELS AND A LOT MORE.

  66. manoj

    i like niharika chugh the most. she is smart, intelligent and good at work.

  67. Diwakar

    Good news anchors are

    Afsha Anjum

    Vinod Dua

    Kamaal Khan

    Sikta Deo
    Ragini Kumar

  69. Anupam

    NDTV is the Robert Frost in context to the Indian NEWS channel. When others are busy catering sex and masala as NEWS they really have taken the road less travelled by Indian NEWS channels. Usage of ornamental language especially by Kamaal Khan and presenting NEWS simple and straight makes them numero uno in India.

  70. mpp

    What about Arnab, Mark Lynn?

  71. I think, rather assures you that Niharika Chugh is undoubtely the best news reader in Times Now. Her fluency & command on english language makes her really perfectly matched candidate for delivering news. really hats off to Niharika Chugh for delivering zero error news and be perfect on all the occassions. On personal front she is very beautiful and lovable person. I wish all the very best for her future and sincerely hope to meet her once.
    Take care Niharika

    • raunak

      i agree with you, niharika chugh is one of the most beautiful and smart anchors in indian news media but at times i feel that she is merely reading from what is given to her in news format rather than infusing some emotion and novelty into news delivering something which is the hallmark of news anchors in cnn ibn like smitha nair,palki sharma or sagarika ghosh

      • You may be right. The anchors you are mentioning here do involve in debated topics on their respective news channel and i haven’t seen Niharika in such debated topics. I hope, she would come out in flying colors if Times Tv do give her that opportunity. Yet she is the best and most beautiful.

  72. kalpesh

    hi guys,

    does any one know complete name of NAVJOT, aaj tak new reader-anchor,

    mail me @ navikalpa@yahoo.com

    kalpesh

  73. Prerne I am late here, but I like all your favorite anchors too.
    I agree about all these sansani type of anchors – I hated them during their coverage of Aarushi case. Barkha Dutt is definitely more sensible and acts educated
    You are right, most Hindi anchors are sadly not good…

  74. sivan

    Niharika chugh is hot. She got a gorgeous face.
    Yummy

    • raunak

      mr. siwan i feel while commenting on any news anchor over here you should have maintained some decency and refrained from using words like ‘yummy’. its good to appreciate someone’s beauty or talent but one should adhere to norms of decency while doing so.

  75. Aashish

    Hey all.
    Have you not seen Divya vaidyanathon on NDTV?? Try and see her. I find her to be the best tv anchors presently on TV.
    Regs
    Aashish..

  76. Diwakar

    Afsha Anjum and sikta Deo nagam seher is hot. She got a gorgeous face.
    Yummy

  77. anurag2k4

    well.. but you forgot to mention karan thapar, Arnab goswami, Sagarika ghosh………..they are also reallly awesome………i am sure you will enjoy watching them. Specially Karan thapar for his unique style of interviewing.

  78. niharika is very preety

  79. George

    Hallo friends.
    I just wonder if you could help me. I´m looking for
    the name and if possible also for the e-mail address of one of the lady-news-speakers of Times Now.She wears black shoulder-long hair, very elegant glasses on her beautiful face, her English is very clear, and she almost always looks straight into the camera. Usually she is wearing a blouse with very fine vertical stripes an a sleeveless jacket. I surely would appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    It seems all of you are wasting your time in selecting your favourite anchors. The only international class anchor I see in India is Rukmani Vishwanath, that most graceful, charming and beautiful lady, who knows a thing or two about news anchoring. She seems to the only one currently who is putting feeling behind her anchoring if you know what I mean. She emotes extremely well, is excellent in her diction, and command over English langauge, never shys away from the camera, has a commanding presence, andher questions are always pertinent and well researched. I think no one can hold a candle to her from among the current anchors in Indian TV

  82. hi
    i am wondering what you think about ARNAB GOSWAMI, TIMES NOW..

    • anchorman

      He is a complete fraud, and a hypocrite, a joke as an anchor , sanctimonious humbug, a third rate journalist, and a terrible noisy bore… I wish India could do without such idiots who truly believe they are great, but anything but.!!!!

  83. @Asisee, Arnab Goswami is good, the only issue is that as a journalist he should not be airing his opinion. His job is to report the truth, analysis should be done by the panelists.

  84. vibha

    i realy like akanksha joshi of starnews,she is very innocent and sweet and the way she delievers the news is outstanding

  95. Communicator

    Is it true that the idiot Arnab Goswami of Times Now is an autocratic dictator type of editor, who is brutal and insulting of all his anchors and reporters, is extremely abusive , uses filthy language all the time and keeps screaming constantly at every body in the Times Now office? Whats gone wrong with the Times Now management that they have to put up with such hypocritical humbug editors who preach some thing on their channel during Newshour, and do something else altogether in reality? Apparently an atmosphere of complete fear and uncertaintly prevails among all the staff of Times Now, due to Arnab’s crazy and abusive ways. No wonder some of the best anchors have quit the channel and found immediate takers in other channels.

  96. amit

    well…kamal khan..undoubtly he is the perfect in his profession..the way he speek is really plesure to hear..my frv..!!!

  109. Barkha's Bakra

    >>>”Barkha Dutt-NDTV ( excellent war time covering during the Kargill war). All the programmes that she anchors are worth watching;you don’t mind watching the repeat telecast because she is anchoring it. My mother once said- any mother would be proud to have a daughter like her.”

      I am a big fan of Charul Malik , anchoring with Star News. She is a regular face with lot of spark and enthusiasm. Sansani is a good show and the presenter Shrivardhan is appropriate for this show. Star News should start more discussion based shows .

  119. I REALLY LIKE SIKTA DEO ON NDTV..cool presenter

  120. My Favourite anchors.
    Rajdeep sardesai
    Barkha Dutt
    Charul Malik

  121. News channels are sensationalizing everything now a days.At times it is so pissing watching the same news for hours and hours without any development..Well I really respect few names in media ” AJAY KUMAR AAJ TAK,
    PUNYA PRASOON VAJPAE ZEE NEWS
    CHARU MALIK STAR NEWS,
    ALKA SAXENA ZEE NEWS.
    ALL THE BEST.

  138. fun2oos

    Its right what you said, that a person hosting any particular news program should have knowledge of the topic he is executing. But the value of knowing about the topic is not worth now a days coz everyone is interested in entertainment. what you said about the “SANSANI” program anchor is Hundred percent right, but even when i watch the program i don’t take the program seriously, Instead I just want to see the anchor the way in which he hosts and that’s all for a entertainment. Any way you made me think of the topic. Thank you….
