They can. As I'm sure you've noticed, there is a common newscaster/TV personality dialect that is taught in voice production/diction classes. Some colleges offer these courses, most don't.

News anchors usually major in Journalism or Broadcast Journalism. They take a few courses that teach them the etiquette of speaking on television so that they can report the news clearly. Most of these courses are either Communications courses or just general Journalism classes.

Most news folks did not major in English nor have most taken courses to learn to speak Broadcaster Standard English.
Many news people got their degree in communication or journalism and studied some voice or theater while doing so. You can become a journalist with a degree in any field.
To acquire Broadcaster Standard English - you can find a voice coach or study that dialect on your own. It's much easier with a voice coach.
