David Tereshchuk has reported and made television documentaries for
American TV channels (ABC, CBS, CNN, Discovery, A&E and The History
Channel) and British ones (Thames TV, London Weekend TV, and Channel
Four - where he was also frequently a program-anchor). Many of the
programs were international, concerned with the Third World especially,
and he has acted as a media adviser to corporations, non-profit
organizations and the United Nations.
He has also written for many US publications including The New York Times, and A.M. New York, where his noted column "The Media Beat" began as a weekly feature. He has also contributed to The Guardian, The Observer, and the New Statesman in London.
He has advised global corporations, governments, non-profits and international organizations on their media and communications policies.
His early media included coverage of Northern Ireland's violence, and then extended into international issues, especially in the Third World. In the 1980s he headed British commercial television's network division making programs on ethical and religious matters.
He helped build and subsequently ran from London the International Broadcasting Trust, a non-profit company devoted to producing and distributing TV programming on Third World subjects, plus accompanying published material.
He was honored by Britain's Royal Television Society with its Social Documentary Award, and by the British Association for the Advancement of Science with its Television Award.
After relocating to New York in the 1990s, he produced documentaries for national broadcast and overseas distribution.
During the last decade he has been a media consultant and TV producer for the United Nations system, and frequently compiled reports and documentaries on UN activity throughout the world. His consultancy work has also served corporations such as Pfizer, Time Warner, and non-profits including The Children's Tumor Foundation, a national medical charity.
He has also taught broadcast news and documentary-making at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
Tereshchuk holds a Master's degree from Oxford University in English Language and Literature, and lives in New York City and Dublin, Ireland.
