Newsreader banned from wearing cross on air...

A newsreader for Norway's state news channel has been banned from wearing a cross on air, after the programme received angry complaints from viewers.

Siv Kristin Sællmann, who reads NRK's regional news for southern Norway, last month came on air several times wearing a discreet 1.4cm long gold cross, studded with tiny black diamonds.

Immediately, viewers began to call in with complaints, pushing Anders Sårheim, the regional editor, to instruct her not to wear the symbol in future.

"What I don't like is that people out there can just call in and tell my boss what I should and I shouldn't wear," Sællmann told The Local.

She claims that she never thought of the cross, which her husband bought her on a recent holiday in Dubai, as more than a piece of jewellery. Full story...
