Jon Snow (born 28 September 1947) is an English journalist and television presenter, currently employed by ITN. He is best known as the longest-running presenter of Channel 4 News, which he has presented since 1989. Snow has held numerous honorary appointments, including Chancellor of Oxford Brookes University from 2001 to 2008.〔(''Debrett's People of Today'' )〕 ==Early life== Snow was born at Ardingly in Sussex, the son of George D'Oyly Snow, Bishop of Whitby, and his wife Joan, a pianist who studied at the Royal College of Music. He is a grandson of WW1 General Sir Thomas D'Oyly Snow (about whom he writes in his foreword to Ronald Skirth's war memoir ''The Reluctant Tommy'') and is the cousin of retired BBC television news presenter Peter Snow.〔 Snow won a choral scholarship by Winchester Cathedral, and spent five years at the Pilgrims' School. He was then educated at Ardingly College, where his father was headmaster. In 2013, he recounted how the inquiry into Sir Jimmy Savile had allowed him to re-evaluate his own childhood when he was molested by one of the school's domestic staff.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jon Snow recalls childhood abuse )〕 Snow subsequently attended St Edward's School, Oxford. When he was 18 he spent a year as a VSO volunteer teaching in Uganda.〔 After mixed success in his first attempt to pass his A-level qualifications, he moved to the Yorkshire Coast College, Scarborough, where he later obtained the necessary qualifications to gain a place reading Law at the University of Liverpool. However, he did not complete his undergraduate studies, being rusticated for his part in a 1970 anti-apartheid socialist student protest, which he later described as "an absolute watershed in my life".〔(Anniversary of student occupation )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jon Snow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
