Opening journalism (for better & for worse)
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009My latest technology piece in Business & Finance has a different ending than usual - it has a link to an mp3 of the interview with Minister Conor Lenihan, conducted for the article itself (which can be found here - although be warned it’s quite long).
Opening up the process of journalism and giving readers additional […]
On RTÉ One after 12pm
Monday, May 25th, 2009I’ll be on RTÉ’s Campaign Daily this afternoon to talk about local and European election candidates using the internet as part of their campaigns.
If I’m not mistaken, I’ll be there with Damien Mulley.
You can catch it live on the website, on your TV (assuming you’re in Ireland) or on the RTÉ Player later on.
Best of luck to the nominees
Saturday, February 21st, 2009I’m on the way back to Dublin after a few relaxing days away so I won’t be at the blog awards, as much as i’d like to be.
So before the ceremony kicks off in Cork I’d like to wish all the nominees the best of luck, particularly those in the Best Blog by a Journalist […]
Shortlisted
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I’m genuinely surprised to see this blog shortlisted for the 2009 Irish Blog Awards. Thanks to the judges who decided that AdamMaguire.com was good enough to make the cut.
It’s quite a cut too - the competition is extremely fierce. I’m sticking by my previous prediction of Michael O’Toole’s blog but given that Jim Carroll has […]
Twitter > Blog
Thursday, February 5th, 2009According to the Dashboard of my blog I’ll have made 598 blog posts once this entry is published. At this very moment I have made 662 posts through my Twitter account.
I was sceptical of the value of Twitter when first set up my account in the middle of 2007. In fact the only reason I […]

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009The Long List for the 2009 Irish Blog Awards has been announced - it is available to read here.
I’ve made the cut in the Best Blog from a Journalist category, so thanks to those who have kept me in the race and hard luck to those who have dropped off.
I stand by my earlier prediction […]
Media predictions 2009, Part 4: Total removal of The Irish Times paywall
Thursday, January 29th, 2009My fourth Irish media prediction for 2009:
The Irish Times has been quite impressive of late when it comes to its online content, however it is still forcing a subscription on printed content more than a year old. By 2010 I believe this awkward limitation will be gone.
While The Irish Times was an industry leader when […]
Thanks to whoever nominated me

This blog has been nominated for the category of Best Blog from a Journalist and I’d like to thank whoever put it forward for the category; I’m genuinely delighted someone felt it was worth their time to do so.
A big […]
Make sure you cast your vote in the Irish Blog Awards 2009
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009The nominations for The 2009 Irish Blog Awards close at 6pm on Wednesday, 14th January so if you haven’t already make sure you add your voice to the crowd’s.
The Irish blogging community has gotten so big now it’s nearly impossible to keep track of - there are likely many great blogs out there that I […]
My bible and prayer book
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009As I said last year, The Media Contacts Directory proved quite useful to me for a variety of reasons. I’ve been sent another copy of it and I’m sure the latest edition will fulfil a similar function in 2009 but I get the feeling the ‘Experts 2009′ booklet that came with it will prove far […]
