Before coming to the capital, Terry was a local television reporter and anchor at the ABC Network television station in Dallas. Later, he served as Austin Bureau Chief and, later, as managing editor/news director of a regional radio network. He has also worked for the CBC and many other radio news outlets around the country. As manager of a television news bureau in DC, Terry and his reporting staff were seen on more than 80 network affiliated television stations throughout the United States as well as many PBS stations. In his news bureau, Terry pioneered in the use of satellite technology to transmit news from Washington, DC, to local stations around the United States. He has also reported from numerous countries, including Russia, France, Jamaica, Panama, Haiti, England, Portugal and others. At present, Terry works as a technologist (fiber optics, digital video networking, digital video systems, etc.) on a consulting and development basis. He worked with the people in N. Iraq (Kurdistan) to establish a European wide satellite channel before the Iraq war and continued that association for four years. As a consultant, Terry assisted in the successful creation of a 24 news channel in California and the establishment of a microwave system in Sacramento for a national news channel. Of particular concern now is the transition of print and electronic media to the digital age. Terry is working on potential solutions to the problems faced by newspapers which are losing advertising, but not able to replace the lost revenue with internet distribution. A monograph on this subject is planned for spring, 2010. Terry owns and manages Alexis Media Systems, through which he does his consulting work as well as television production. Alexis Media projects have been seen on most of the major national cable networks, the primary commercial networks and a number of local station outlets. Alexis Media has “pioneer status” in the early development of digital video, now seen around the world, and in proposing and testing hand carried, digital video transmission systems (satellite video phones). It was one of the first organizations in the world to realize the benefits of digital technology in allowing news gathering from any location on the planet. He has worked on informal disaster relief since the late 1980s when hurricane Hugo hit South Carolina. Drawing on his experience covering hurricanes as a reporter, Terry has offered coordination and other assistance in major events, including 9-11 and Katrina. He was in the New Orleans area as Katrina moved through. Terry spends a significant amount of his time on artistic photography and he has been exhibited through a commercial gallery in Leesburg, Virginia. He also creates artistic moving images through video. Several important exhibits of his works are planned for 2010 and he is currently seeking gallery representation, particularly for his abstract, light images photographs, which involved making multi-colored images from sunlight. |
