Abstract
Jon Snow joined ITN (Independent Television News) in 1976. He is an award-winning journalist and has travelled the world as a reporter. He became ITN’s Washington Correspondent in 1984 and has been the ‘face of Channel 4 News’ since 1989. As well as presenting the programme, he writes Snowblog (http://blogs.channel4.com/snowblog/), his personal take on the day’s events, and Snowmail (http://hello.channel4.com/webApp/snowmail), a preview of the evening programme’s main stories. He speaks to Roberta Piazza about his views on television news.
