On Newstalk’s Culture Shock tonight
Saturday, April 26th, 2008I’ll be doing the Sunday newspaper preview on Newstalk’s Culture Shock tonight for anyone who’s doing nothing at 8:45pm or so.
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 […]
Article on the FAI in April’s Village
Friday, March 28th, 2008The latest edition of Village has an article of mine on John Delaney and the FAI.
The piece covers the last decade of the association and tracks Delaney’s rise to power and his involvement in its many crises during this time.
You could quite easily write a book on the FAI during this time-frame and still […]
Bí ullamh, iriseoiri óg
Thursday, March 20th, 2008I was a member of a scout group for most of my childhood and all of my teenage years, only leaving when I had to travel to England for study. You can learn a lot there on a practical and social level but one thing that’s easy to forget is the lesson that’s at the […]
What did Peev say next?
Monday, March 10th, 2008Carrying on from Saturday’s post about the Scotsman’s ‘Monster’ story, Roy Greenslade has picked up on the debate and put forward a few more arguments surrounding the issue.
The Scotsman and Peev’s defence is that, as a rule, what is on and off the record is defined from the outset and allowing someone to retrospectively go […]
My bible(s)
Thursday, March 6th, 2008I recently came into possession of two books/directories - one I bought and one that was given to me - which have quickly become equivalent to my Old and New Testament of Journalism.
First up, I forked out something like €26 for the latest Nealon’s Guide, which goes into great detail on the last Irish general […]
Changes afoot at The Irish Times
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008It’s not just the internal machinations of The Irish Times that are facing change. From Monday the newspaper itself is to undergo a minor overhaul which will see the introduction of new supplements, an expansion of some of the ‘paper’s existing features and even a layout and design change.
Times editor Geraldine Kennedy goes into a […]
Interview with John Waters on Blogging (from 2006)
Thursday, February 7th, 2008In 2006 I undertook a thesis on the issue of new media and citizen journalism. As part of this process I approached a number of people in the mainstream media who I knew would have a strong opinion on the matter, one of whom was John Waters who was (and assumedly still is) a self-confessed […]
Irish Times merges print and web operations
Monday, January 14th, 2008According to The Sunday Tribune (and via Greenslade), The Irish Times Ltd. has merged its print and internet news rooms in recent weeks, as part of a move towards becoming Ireland’s first 24-hour newsroom.
Ireland.com had previously been operated by a subsidiary of The Irish Times Ltd. called Itronics Ltd, but will now integrate with the […]
Begin again from the beginning
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008So normality has largely returned to the land after the disorientated period some call ‘The Christmas’. Schools are open again, people are back to regular working hours and (almost) all the decorations have disappeared from houses and shops around Dublin.
Of course the beginning of a new year always brings some navel-gazing, account-taking and aspirational planning […]
Tribune still losing money, albeit slightly less than before
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007The Sunday Tribune has been on financial life support for some time now and talk of its impending demise has been as frequent as that of The Progressive Democrats’. That said the company’s latest accounts, as detailed in The Irish Examiner, are going to do very little to improve the perception that it has no […]
