And without any Anchors at all the Wraith cannot stay in the world; She will fall through the Barrier into whatever lies beyond, never to be seen again.
However, the further away she goes, the less able she is to function, due to the strong emotional pull the Anchors exert over her.
Yet another danger is the fact that Anchors are indelibly marked as being part of the realm of spirit - a malady Wraiths refer to as "Echoes." While the signs of being claimed by a Wraith aren't totally obvious, they're enough to bring human ghost-hunters and do-gooders sniffing around.

 Artsandentertainment: For network news, it's anchors away
Brian Williams, Peter Jennings and Dan Rather were all on the road, anchoring their evening newscasts from the war zone last week and wearing flak jackets to give viewers a sense of life in Iraq at this pivotal moment in history.
When he was the new anchor competing against the likes of John Chancellor, Rather saw reporting as a way to distinguish himself, Klein said.
Jennings scored two important coups while on past trips to Iraq: He was one of the few TV reporters on hand when control of the country was handed over early from the United States, and also saw Saddam Hussein's first appearance since his capture.

The upshot of the code change is that any anchor must remain in place in case the concrete cracks through the anchor placement from natural forces or seismic events, says Brett Turley, national manager of technical services at Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems.
Only a handful of mechanical anchors meet the standard and are often as much as four times as expensive as conventional drop-in or wedge anchors.
Further, other non-U.S. produced anchors that meet the standard are metric, which can create problems for trades set up to do all of their work in English or fractional measurements,” Turley says.

A downsizing would not merely have been in line with the one indisputable trend of television, which is that fewer people watch network news than ever before--and they do so because Americans now get most of their news from other sources, including the Web.
Astronomical anchors' salaries are themselves the bastard children of an attempt by that network to buy Dan Rather from CBS in the last working years of Walter Cronkite, the Ur-Anchor.

Watching the Main Stream Media continue to deny that they have a hatchet in their collective heads is akin to the Black Knight's claim of invincibility despite losing all of his limbs in his fight with Monty Python's Arthur.
In the MSM newsroom, the Anchor sits at the top of these siloes, isolated with a certainty that a protected bureaucracy promotes, and sees themselves as the arbiter of "news," obligated to push out their product which the masses should accept.
In an enlightened newsroom, the "Anchor" would be called a "Team Leader," responsible for delivering the nightly news to their customers' requirements - objectivity, not agendas.

Since television news is coming of age in India, and news anchors are becoming celebrities, it is instructive to look at the business in the US, where major changes are occurring in the field.
Unlike in India, the turnover of network TV anchors in the US occurs with about the same frequency as changes in the American Supreme Court bench or appointment of a Bell Labs president, i.e., once in a generation.

Two major anchors may be going away, but the TV news remains, and it's still the largest sphere of media influence.
So conservatives will still be watching and taking notes on how the new anchors live up to Dan Rather's often-stated (and too often violated) promise to "play no favorites and pull no punches."

In coming months, as NBC positions Williams to assume Brokaw's anchor seat, expect to see him spending more time on the road, reporting the top stories.
