On The Last Word at half 6 to talk about smartphones
Thursday, July 24th, 2008I’ll be on The Last Word on Today FM this evening to talk about smartphones and iPhone rivals - something I recently had an article in Business & Finance magazine about (but ashamedly neglected to mention here).
You can tune in online, on your radio (100-102 FM in Ireland or on DAB) or via your digital […]
Superb video on those dangerous Dublin adverts
Sunday, July 13th, 2008Jazz Biscuit has linked to a Youtube video on those aforementioned dangerous Dublin ad-shells which puts my previous effort on the Dorset St. advert to utter shame.
This video details the dangers posed by the new JCDecaux adverts which were agreed to by Dublin City Council and tells you what you can do to get them […]
On Newstalk this evening
Saturday, July 12th, 2008I’ll be on Newstalk’s Culture Shock this evening to preview Sunday’s newspapers.
The show itself starts at 7pm and I should be on air at around 8:45pm (as always it’s the show’s closing segment).
So if you’re around a radio, digital TV or computer then tune in. I guarantee it will be worth it*.
* Not a guarantee.

Media and Lisbon
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008I recently took part in an episode of Inside Out for Dublin City FM on the topic of media and the Lisbon Treaty.
The discussion revolved around the suggestion that the British imports available in Ireland, which are generally Euro-sceptic, played a significant role in pushing the electorate towards the ‘No’ side. It also extended […]

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008An article of mine on FTA satellite in Ireland is in today’s Sunday Business Post - you can find it here. The article is very much an overview of the state of FTA satellite in Ireland and the potential it now has considering the changes in content and availability.
The article has a brief look at […]
On Newstalk for the Sunday newspaper preview
Saturday, June 21st, 2008I’ll be on Newstalk’s Culture Shock at around 8:45pm this evening to go through some of tomorrow’s newspaper headlines.
Lisbon is likely to factor heavily - as it has for the past week - but here’s hoping there’ll be some variety of topics on the agenda besides that.
So if you’re the impatient type and can’t wait […]
Sunday Tribune’s website get a facelift
Monday, June 16th, 2008The Sunday Tribune’s website has gotten a much-needed overhaul having had one of the worst web-presences in Ireland for some time now.
The new site features RSS feeds, comments, an archive dating back to 2000 and a breaking news service (not sure if this is in-house or taken from an existing news/wire service) - all of […]

There doesn’t seem to be any details on what the winner will get (in terms of salary, contract, position etc.) but the programme’s mini-site (including application form) is here, […]
