Both terms indicate the action of drawing together disparate parts of a presentation, but they are usually used in different contexts.
Compering means 'acting as a Master of Ceremonies'. It suggests a series of performers or entertainment segments.

Anchoring means acting as the coordinating reporter of a broadcast to which multiple reporters contribute.
