    Behind the desk, presentation is everything—and nothing defines the quiet authority of the newsroom quite like the anchor’s necktie.

Pull up a chair as we look at how the boys stay meticulously put together under the studio lights, keeping the standard high, the frame locked, and always guarding the collar.
