天美传媒

Terry Lee, Senior Tutor in Radio & Audio and co-ordinator of the 天美传媒鈥檚 successful community radio station , joined around 500 representatives from local newspapers, broadcasters, and community media organisations to highlight the vital role that local journalism and broadcasting plays.

Terry was invited in recognition of his role as Chair of the (CMA), as well as his leadership with the student-run Radio LaB.

Reflecting on the experience, Terry said: 鈥淚 was lucky enough to shake The King's hand. He asked me about my work at the 天美传媒 and was genuinely delighted to hear that we had enthusiastic students studying media. He was also impressed to learn that they share responsibility for running a full-time community radio station. He even recalled his previous visit to Luton to open the Luton DART and asked if that was still running okay!

鈥淏y the end of the evening, hundreds of happy media people were gathered outside the Palace gates, taking photos and swapping stories. New friendships were made, and it was a reminder of how strong and passionate the local media community is across the UK.鈥�

Terry has been Chair of the CMA 鈥� which advocates for accessible, diverse, and community-driven media across the UK 鈥� since 2023 and an academic at Bedfordshire for more than a decade.
