A Muslim news anchor must first ask permission from her boss when she wants to wear the hijab when she is broadcasting. There is even a news anchor who has been banned from broadcasting using a hijab. The emergence of news anchors wearing hihab on TV stations in Indonesia can be called relatively new. Currently, news anchors wearing hijabs in Indonesia are a minority entity. News anchors who decide to wear the hijab and try to continue their profession will be based on certain motives. The purpose of this study is to reveal what motives underlie news anchors to wear the hijab and continue to exist in their profession. This study uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. The informants opened 5 news anchors from 4 television stations in Indonesia. Data was collected through in-depth interviews. The results show that the five news anchors have different motives when they decide to wear the hijab such as motives due to the encouragement of the closest people, the environment they live in, personal awareness, and special spirituality. Meanwhile, the motives of the five news anchors wearing hijab to continue their profession are relatively the same, namely based on their love for the world of journalism and the awareness that they are a rare entity. The study is expected to be a reference for Indonesian television managers to provide wider opportunities and opportunities for Muslim news readers who want to use the hijab when broadcasting. It was found that several television managers in Indonesia still did not allow news anchors to appear wearing hijab while broadcasting.
