‘TV is a lookism media’
This is the analysis of (former) TV presenter Nick Ross, speaking at Edinburgh International TV Festival. In this clip he argues that looks are important for both men and women who work in televsion, but that this is particularly significant for women when they get older.
This contribution has been widely picked up in the print media, for example The Guardian and the Daily Record
Potentially his comment implies that older women and ‘good looks’ are incompatible.
