Jon Snow and colleagues told: Smarten up on screen

The Channel 4 News team have been told to smarten up their on-screen appearance, the Sunday Telegraph’s Mandrake column has claimed.

In an email, leaked to the paper, C4 News editor Jim Gray says: “Issues of clothing style, hair-style, personal grooming, posture and the like must be taken seriously – appearances which are sloppy, messy or distracting are just not on.”
