Terry Lloyd is a News Correspondent for ITV News, the news service produced by ITN for ITV. He has done general reporting for ITV News since the beginning of 1993 after spending two years based in Birmingham as Midlands correspondent.

Terry joined ITN, who supply news for ITV, in 1983 as a reporter from Central Television where he had been their East Midlands reporter. He was previously with Raymonds News Agency as a reporter and news editor.

On joining ITV News he specialised in crime stories for nine months before returning to general reporting. His reports during this time included coverage of the Lebanese Government's collapse in Beirut in February 1984 and coverage of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in the summer of 1984. He also covered the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Terry was the first reporter to get inside the town of Halabje in Iraq after Saddam Hussein had dropped a chemical bomb on his own Kurdish people. Terry got the first exclusive pictures - and report - out, with bodies still lying where they fell.

Terry won an award for ITV News for being the first reporter to get inside Kosovo as the Western world awaited access from the Serbs. He climbed a mountain with cameraman Mike Inglis to get in from the Monte Negro side.

In January 1993 Terry was the only British television reporter on board the US aircraft carrier Kittyhawk as she launched planes against Iraq, and brought exclusive coverage of the planes taking off and the Iraqi targets being hit.

Early in 1994 he was witnessing the conflict in former Yugoslavia. In March he reported exclusively on the discovery of mass graves at Ovcara near Vukovar which contained the remains of several hundred bodies, thought to be Croats who had disappeared from the local hospital over a year earlier. Terry also reported on the situation in an around Vitez where the three-sided civil war had almost reached anarchic proportions.

1995 saw Terry Lloyd return to Bosnia several times, reporting from Zepa on the plight of the increasing number of refugees, and from the capital Sarajevo on the NATO air strikes against the Serb positions around the city.

Terry Lloyd has covered a wide range of stories, both domestic and international. In July 1997 he was in Cambodia reporting on the fighting there following the collapse of the country's coalition government. He also covered the historic, successful attempt by Thrust SSC and Britain's Andy Green on the world land speed record in the Nevada Desert and, more recently, Richard Branson's around the world balloon attempt.

MCB takes media action

Thu 17 Jan 2002

ITN has apologised for its use of the phrase 'Terrorist Capitals'. The MCB media committee wrote to ITN News in late December 2001 to complain of a TV news REPORT BY THEIR REPORTER TERRY LLOYD who HAD DESCRIBED THE MOVEMENTS OF THE ALLEGED SHOE-BOMBER Richard Reid.

TERRY LLOYD HAD SAID THAT MR. REID HAD VISITED SEVERAL 'TERRORIST CAPITALS' dring his travels and mentioned Islamabad, Cairo and Istanbul in the same sentence.

The MCB have this week received a letter from the Deputy Editor of ITV News, Robin Elias, dated 10th January 2002 in which he has apologised to the MCB and has agreed "that the phrase 'terrorist capitals of the world' was inappropriate."
