Media strategies, indigenous languages and the future of television, with a Celtic twist, have been on the agenda at the Celtic Media Festival this week.

Some of the top media figures from Celtic nations and regions all over Europe came together for the annual event in Newquay, Cornwall.

Over the course of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday attendees have had the chance to network alongside a busy schedule of discussions, workshops, pitching masterclasses and the Torc Awards.

Cathy MacDonald from BBC Radio nan Gàidheal was one of the judges and praised "a growing confidence in our respective languages, enriched by that awareness of our shared cultural heritage within the Celtic nations."
