BBC award for broadcast lecturer
Mike Green celebrating with this year's postgrad students
Broadcast journalism lecturer Mike Green has won a BBC award.
Mike, who has trained some of the industry’s leading broadcasters, received the corporation’s Connect and Create Partnership Award for Achievement.
The award is recognition of the 21 years he has devoted to UCLan where he has built the post-graduate broadcast journalism course into a centre for national excellence.
Former students who paid tribute to him included Danny Savage, BBC TV’s North of England correspondent, Karen Allen, Southern Africa correspondent and BAFTA award winner Richard Frediani, head of news at ITV Granada.
“I’ve seen Mike mentor and guide literally hundreds of students, many of whom wouldn’t have had a career without his support. The quality of the broadcasting course at the University of Central Lancashire is in no small part due to Mike’s commitment,” said Richard
“His dry wit and insight into the baffling world of broadcast news provided an inspiration to us all,” said Karen Allen.
“If you mention Mike Green’s name at Television Centre, Five Live, Radio 4, Sky News, ITN, CNN, BBC and commercial local radio stations across the country … heads will pop up in recognition of the man who put them where they are now,” added Phil McCann of BBC Radio Stoke
The Connect and Create Partnership was established by the BBC to cement its links with all northern universities and colleges, in preparation its move to Media City next year.
After receiving the award Mike said: I’m deeply touched by the support I have received from staff and students. The award is a reflection of the dedication and commitment of all staff I have worked alongside for many years.”
