In our media age, we are all accustomed to the familiar faces we see on TV presenting the daily news, documentaries and reports. However, the most celebrated presenters across the globe are much more than just a face and a voice. Many have had successful careers in journalism, politics, and academia and their ability to present is testament to the depth of their knowledge Often they have an ability to simplify complex issues and explain them in a way that is easy to understand, enabling us- the audience- to learn. More often than not, however, it is their unique charisma and charm that defines a presenter’s success and has created a generation of media icons.
