In association with the Frontline Club, the College of Journalism is bringing top journalists who are experts in their field and craft to talk about their stories and the journalism that has shaped their careers.
In the second of this inspiring new series, Vin Ray, director of the BBC College of Journalism, spoke to the BBC special correspondent Allan Little.
Allan has worked for the corporation since 1983 when he joined BBC Scotland. After a spell on local radio news, he moved to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, before joining BBC News in 1990.
The award-winning journalist reported extensively on the conflict in the former Yugoslavia over a period of four years and was in Baghdad during the Gulf War in 1991. His first foreign posting was to Johannesburg as South Africa correspondent, after which he embarked on a two-year stint as Moscow correspondent in 1997, covering a period of political and economic upheaval for the Yeltsin regime.
Allan has won several awards including a Gold Sony Radio Award for Reporter of the Year in 1992; and in 1994 he was named the Bayeux War Correspondent of the Year.
