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.
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 […]
My logic/emotional battle over the iPhone
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009I’ve been listening through some archived episodes of the absolutely brilliant Radio Lab podcast and recently came across their show on choice.
One experiment they speak about in this episode relates to the emotional and logical decision-making centres of the brain and how important they are in making a quick and rounded choice. Both sides are […]
Five things the new Village Magazine needs to do now
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009So the second issue of Village Magazine 2.0 is coming under some legal scrutiny from Declan Ganley, following the publication of a profile critical of the man himself.
This is sure to be of some concern to Michael Smith and all at Village as legal battles with millionaires are never good for a publication’s bottom line, […]
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 […]

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 […]
