Jonathan George Snow HonFRIBA (born 28 September 1947) is an English journalist and television presenter.

In 2013, he recounted how the inquiry into Sir Jimmy Savile had allowed him to re-evaluate his own childhood, having been molested by one of the college's domestic staff when he was aged six.

However, he did not complete his undergraduate studies, being expelled for his part in a 1970 anti-apartheid socialist student protest, which he later described as "an absolute watershed in my life".

[1][9] After his law degree studies were terminated at Liverpool University, Snow was hired by Lord Longford[10] to direct the New Horizon Youth Centre, a day centre for homeless young people in central London,[1] an organisation with which he has remained involved and of which he subsequently became chairman.

[1] By 1978, he was working as a correspondent for ITN, and in November of that year was sent on a mission to Vietnam to report on the plight of the boat people.

In 2003, at the height of the dodgy dossier affair, Alastair Campbell walked into the studio to rebut statements by the BBC.

[23] On 28 February 2008, Snow said that the silence of the British media on the decision to allow Prince Harry to fight in Afghanistan was unacceptable:[24] "I never thought I'd find myself saying thank God for Drudge.

[25] On 9 February 2009, Snow interviewed Lt-Col Yvonne Bradley, the military counsel for Binyam Mohamed, a British resident detained for five years at Guantánamo Bay.

[1] He was criticised for his views on air by a guest on Channel 4 News, Conservative minister Grant Shapps later refused to appear on the show, doubting its neutrality.

[1] Shapps stated: "I don’t think he [Jon Snow] can deal in an even handed manner in any interview with a Conservative MP.

A Channel 4 spokeswoman released a statement stating that it was "an unscripted observation" and that the broadcaster regretted any offence caused.

The programme sought to reveal to viewers the secrets of a long, happy and healthy life by examining the lifestyles of the residents of three continents who were approaching 100 years of age.

[1][47] In March 2010, Snow married Precious Lunga, a scientist who was born and raised in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

[49] Known as a keen cyclist and advocate of the activity, Snow served as president of CTC Cycling UK from 2007 onwards, to around 2020.

[50] When his beloved Condor, titanium-framed silver hybrid cycle was stolen from his home, he publicised the theft on his blog and offered £250 reward for its safe return.
