Comic Genius (The Irish Times - 4th October 2008)
Saturday, October 4th, 2008Today’s Magazine supplement in The Irish Times has a piece by yours truly on Dublin comic book artist Bob Byrne.
The piece is available here for free and naturally in the printed form around the country.
It’s a long story that I’ll save for another day but this piece has been in development in some form or […]
Market Bite of Bluetooth (Business & Finance, 25th Sept. - 8th Oct. 2008)
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008I know I’ve been a bit of a bad landlord of late, only turning up when there’s rent to be collected (or in my case, articles to be plugged) but for those of you not yet disgusted by my shameless abuse of the blogging format lately, here’s some more self-promotion on my part.
The latest issue […]
Incredible shrinking laptop (Business & Finance, 1st August 2008)
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008My tech article in the latest issue of Business & Finance is about mini-notebooks or ‘netbooks’ as they’re also known.
Most people following the laptop industry will know about the very successful and minute EeePC and this piece looks at the explosion of interest that has stemmed from its release as well as the ever-increasing variety […]

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 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 […]
The Herald goes online
Thursday, June 5th, 2008As of yesterday Ireland’s Evening Herald newspaper has an online presence - over ten years after its sister ‘paper The Irish Independent went online and around thirteen years since The Irish Times did so.
The Evening Herald holds the somewhat surprising honour of being the first Irish national tabloid newspaper to be fully available online - […]
The integrated newsroom
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008The Press Gazette yesterday published an interesting although somewhat vague article on The Guardian’s moves to the ‘integrated newsroom’, a term that is sure to become the buzz-word of the mainstream media in the coming months and years.
The Guardian’s mission, headed up by editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger, is to merge the editorial operations of The Guardian […]
Having patience when pitching
Monday, May 26th, 2008One of the most annoying periods of a freelancer’s working week is the wait in between the pitch and the commission/rejection. With some editors you can have a reply (for better or for worse) within the hour. With others you might spend a few days talking to their voicemail before you get them and that […]

You can tune in online or if you’re in Ireland through your FM, DAB or Internet radio; through your UPC or Sky digibox or by making your way to their city centre studios and pressing […]
