The John Craven Years: Newsround Style

John Craven was determined to adopt a casual approach in front of the cameras. He was famous for his colourful jumpers, and never lectured from behind a desk. John wanted children to feel they had a news programme of their own, with information they could easily understand. Youngsters all over the country warmed to his easy-going style, and Newsround's popularity soared. Heavyweight journalists from the adult newsroom also honed their skills by filing reports for Newsround.
