TV anchor from South Carolina invested in modern plant (10)
I believe the answer is:
newscaster
'tv anchor' is the definition.
(I know that tv anchor can be written as newscaster)
'south carolina invested in modern plant' is the wordplay.
'south carolina' becomes 'sc'.
'invested in' indicates putting letters inside.
'modern' becomes 'new' (synonyms).
'plant' becomes 'aster' (aster is a kind of plant).
'new'+'aster'='newaster'
'sc' placed into 'newaster' is 'NEWSCASTER'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for newscaster that I've seen before include "TV regular" , "Baker, perhaps" , "TV presenter" , "who reads the headlines?" .)
