Speaking to an audience of 300 in the Quad, Channel 4 news presenter Krishnan spoke of his 25-year career in journalism and gave advice to students on how to break into the industry.
Having started his career at 18, presenting youth
television for the BBC whilst also fitting in a degree, Krishnan moved
to Channel 4 News in 1998, where he remains as one of the main anchors
alongside Jon Snow.
He has covered a series of
high profile events ranging from the Charlie Hebdo Paris attacks earlier
this year, to the Omagh bombing, 9/11, as well as special war coverage
and upcoming general elections.
He also spoke of his passion for what he describes as "one of the best jobs in the world."
"You
enjoy an intimacy with people's lives that you just wouldn't doing
anything else," he said. "In terms of your opportunity to see the world,
experience the world, try and understand other people's problems, hold
people to account, it's a fantastically privileged thing to do and so
thoroughly worthwhile. I would recommend it to anyone."
