RTE damages own argument against the Sound and Vision fund
Monday, October 20th, 2008Today’s Irish Times carries a piece on Noel Curran’s speech to the Cleraun Media Conference, where he suggested that an increase in the BCI Sound & Vision fund would force RTÉ to cut investment in Irish programming. Curran, who is the managing director of RTÉ, said imported programming tends to be cheaper than home-produced content […]
Talking about Google on The Last Word tonight
Monday, September 8th, 2008I’ll be on Today FM’s The Last Word this evening to talk about Google, largely to mark its tenth anniversary as an incorporated company which was yesterday.
As far as I know there’ll be someone from Google on too and the discussion should be quite general looking at how Google has done so well, why it’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
