Jon Snow - watch his journey to the Awards ceremony 2007

 

Jon Snow of Channel 4 News is the regular presenter of the One World Media Awards. He says of the awards: "The most cherished awards in television – enduring proof that despite all, a sturdy thread of real excellence still weaves its way through the output."


Every year he has to rush from the studio of Channel 4 News when his programme finishes at 8 pm, so that he can arrive in time for the start of the ceremony, at 8.30. Over the years he's used some very unusual means of transport to reach the awards, including high-speed bicycle and helicopter. But in 2007 he surpassed all of those by making it across London on a borrowed skateboard. Watch the video to find out more:
