• Irelands first editor/publisher blog

    Slugger points out that Daily Ireland editor, Máirtin Ó Muilleoir’s blog has been quietly blogging away as of the 23rd of June.

    The blog is the first such move by an Irish publisher into the world of social media and let us hope will not be the last. The UK’s Guardian newspaper has blazed a trail with its superb Comment Is Free section while the BBC’s Editors Blog and its approach to blogs in general has been equally impressive.

    ‘From The Balcony’ is hardly an ideal example of what a newspaper publisher or editor can do through blogging but it is a positive start; we can only hope that Ireland’s big media players will make serious and positive moves into blogging in the very near future, as I commented on before.

    Máirtin, fáilte romhat ar an Blagisféar na hÉireann. (that’s the best my Irish can muster at present, I’m afraid)
