Multi-award-winning journalist Clive Myrie visits UEA for in-conversation event
By: Communications
One of the BBC’s most experienced and recognised news presenters, Clive Myrie, will be visiting the University of East Anglia (UEA) for a special event in May.
The multi-award-winning journalist, and face of BBC 1’s News at Ten, will take part in a free ‘in-conversation’ event with his old friend and Lecturer in Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism, Barnie Choudhury.
As part of his visit, UEA journalism students will also have the chance to meet and hear from Clive at Broadcast House.
Choudhury, from UEA’s School of Media, Language and Communication Studies, said: "I really appreciate that Clive's giving his time so generously because he's in such demand. It's the mark of the man that he's giving up a whole day to meet our journalism students and then chatting with me in the evening.
“The thing about Clive is that he makes everything look so easy and few of us appreciate the hard miles he puts in. On top of that, he's just an open, generous and humble guy, and I know we're in for a treat."
