From 1972 Craven was the eponymous host of a regular children's news programme, Newsround, originally called "John Craven's Newsround". The first such programme ever produced by British television, it drew on the full journalistic resources of the BBC, and featured a number of news scoops, it being the first news programme of the day on TV in its early years.
Craven became associated with children's TV and presented news items on other children's programmes, such as Multi-Coloured Swap Shop and Saturday Superstore. Years later he also became editor of Newsround.
