  • Johnston Press and the Crisis in Ireland's Local Newspaper Industry
    1 Johnston Press and the Crisis in Ireland’s Local Newspaper Industry, 2005-14 Anthony Cawley Lecturer in Media, Department of Media and Communication, Liverpool Hope University, L16 9JD [A version of this article was published by Journalism.] Reflecting international trends, Ireland’s local newspaper industry has suffered steep circulation and advertising revenue falls since the late-2000s, and has struggled to reshape traditional business models for the digital era. In harsh trading conditions, local titles are operating on reduced editorial resources and are weakened in their capacity to fulfil their traditional watchdog and informed-citizenry functions. Perhaps no company better encapsulates the industry’s recent difficulties than UK media group Johnston Press. In 2005, it paid more than €200m to acquire fourteen local titles in Ireland, but nine years later sold them for just €8.5m. The article draws on this case-study to consider wider issues related to the corporatisation of local news provision, the sustainability of local news industries in small media markets such as Ireland’s, and the increasing disconnect between local journalism’s commodity value and its public good value. KEYWORDS: Johnston Press, Ireland, local newspapers, local journalism, market sustainability Introduction The local newspaper industry in the Republic of Ireland, reflecting the broader international experience, has suffered steep falls in circulation and revenues since the late-2000s, and has struggled to recalibrate its traditional business models for the digital era. In some cases, 2 local news publishers are reorganising and reducing their editorial resources to maintain operating profitability. In other cases, they are doing so to survive.

  • Oral Evidence: Brexit and the Northern Ireland Protocol, HC 157
    Northern Ireland Affairs Committee Oral evidence: Brexit and the Northern Ireland Protocol, HC 157 Wednesday 9 June 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 9 June 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Simon Hoare (Chair); Scott Benton; Mr Gregory Campbell; Stephen Farry; Mr Robert Goodwill; Claire Hanna; Fay Jones; Ian Paisley; Bob Stewart. Questions 919 - 940 Witnesses II: Susan McKay, Journalist and Author. Examination of witness Witness: Susan McKay. Q919 Chair: Let us now turn to Susan McKay. Good morning. Thank you for joining us. Ms McKay, you recently published a book—other authors are available—Northern Protestants: On Shifting Ground; it was published last month. What is your take? What is the rub? What is the actual issue here? What is the beef? Susan McKay: Thank you, Mr Chair. That is an extraordinary question in its breadth. One of the reasons why I wrote the book is that I am from the Protestant community myself in Northern Ireland, from Derry, and I have been working as a journalist, mainly in Northern Ireland, for the last 30 years. Over that time I have observed that there is an immense variety and diversity of people within the Protestant, loyalist and unionist communities and I felt that that was not widely enough recognised. For example, when we talk of loyalists, people often conflate the idea of loyalists with loyalist paramilitaries, which is so wrong. The loyalist community is extremely diverse. It includes people who vote for the unionist parties; it also includes people who vote for other non-unionist parties and many people who do not vote at all.

  • Complaint by Mrs Nichola Corner on Behalf of the Ms Lyra Mckee
    v Issue 412 12 October 2020 Complaint by Mrs Nichola Corner1 on behalf of the Ms Lyra McKee (deceased) about Newsnight: The ‘Real’ Derry Girls and the Dissidents Type of case Fairness and Privacy Outcome Upheld Service BBC 2 Date & time 05 November 2019, 22:45 Category Privacy Summary Ofcom has upheld this complaint about unwarranted infringement of privacy in the programme as broadcast. Case summary The programme featured a report about terrorism in Northern Ireland, with a particular focus on Derry, or Londonderry. The report described the circumstances which led to the murder of Ms Lyra McKee, who was a journalist covering a story when she was hit by a bullet after a gunman opened fire on the police. The programme included a brief piece of footage that appeared to show Ms McKee lying in the street in her dying moments after being shot. The footage, filmed on a mobile phone, included around three seconds which focused on Ms McKee as she lay on the ground with people crowding around her. Whilst the footage was brief, of low quality and Ms McKee was largely obscured, it included a glimpse of her footwear. Mrs Corner, Ms McKee’s sister, complained that Ms McKee’s privacy was unwarrantably infringed in the programme as broadcast by the inclusion of this footage. Ofcom found that Ms McKee had a legitimate expectation of privacy in relation to the broadcast of the footage of her and that this outweighed the broadcaster’s right to freedom of expression and the audience’s right to receive information and ideas without interference, and the public interest in 1 Section 111(2) of the Broadcasting Act 1996 provides that “where the person affected is an individual who has died, a fairness complaint may be made by his personal representative or by a member of the family of the person affected, or by some other person or body closely connected with him (whether as his employer, or as a body of which he was at his death a member, or in any other way)”.

  • M-18-092 Commission Clears Acquisition by Formpress
    MERGER ANNOUNCEMENT - M/18/092 Competition and Consumer Protection Commission clears proposed acquisition by Formpress Publishing Limited of certain business assets of River Media Newspapers Limited 28 December 2018 The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has today cleared the proposed transaction, whereby Formpress Publishing Limited would acquire certain business assets of River Media Newspapers Limited. The proposed transaction was notified under the Competition Act 2002, as amended (“the Act”) on 4 December 2018. Given that both Formpress Publishing Limited and River Media Newspapers Limited carry on a “media business” within the State, the proposed transaction constitutes a “media merger” for the purposes of Part 3A of the Act. The Commission has formed the view that the proposed transaction will not substantially lessen competition in any market for goods or services in the State and, accordingly, that the acquisition may be put into effect subject to the provisions of section 28C(1) of the Act. The Commission will publish the reasons for its determination on its website no later than 60 working days after the date of the determination and after allowing the parties the opportunity to request that confidential information be removed from the published version. Additional Information Formpress Publishing Limited is a subsidiary of Iconic Newspapers Limited. It is the owner of regional newspapers including The Donegal Democrat, The Leinster Leader, The Kilkenny People, The Limerick Leader, The Longford Leader, The Tipperary Star, The Leinster Express, The Leitrim Observer, The Nationalist, The Dundalk Democrat, The Donegal People's Press, The Limerick Chronicle, The Letterkenny People and The Offaly Express.

  • Walking Together As Protest: Collective Identity Transformation in Sectarian Northern Ireland
    Vol. 26, Issue 1, pp. 12-32, ISSN 2232-3716. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4297028 Walking together as protest: Collective identity transformation in sectarian Northern Ireland Amanda J. Lubit Queen’s University Belfast, [email protected] Abstract Although thirty years of violent sectarian conflict ended with the 1998 peace agreement, public spaces and politics in Northern Ireland remain contested. Para- militaries and violence persist, affecting daily lived experiences. Following the death of journalist Lyra McKee in April 2019 at the hands of a dissident para- military group, a grassroots social movement developed, demanding to “re-boot” the peace agreement. Lyra’s Walk for Peace engaged in a three-day 68-mile walk across Northern Ireland to acknowledge shared memories of loss and protest per- sistent sectarianism in politics and public life. Using embodied walking ethnogra- phy, I examine what meanings participants assigned to participation and what these narratives tell us about the embodied experience of walking in protest. Par- ticipants and organisers initially created a collective identity based on three themes: history, collective suffering, and an imagined future. This identity did not remain static throughout the protest. Instead, the meaning and identity of Lyra’s Walk evolved through embodied experiences of public hospitality, solidarity and the bodily pain of walking which together generated strong emotions. Although the protest began with an orientation towards the past and future of Northern Ire- land, by the end, the focus had shifted towards the embodied present. KEYWORDS: protest, embodiment, emotions, memory, collective identity © Slovene Anthropological Society 2020 12 Introduction On 18 April 2019 a dissident paramilitary group shot and killed 29-year-old journalist Lyra McKee as she reported on a police raid-turned-riot in a heavily sectarian neigh- bourhood of Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland (J.

As a result of Brexit, the European Parliament was reorganised and the number of MEPs was reduced from 751 to 705. The twenty-seven remaining UK seats were reallocated to other member states. Ireland received an additional two seats, bringing the country’s total number of seats up to thirteen. The same constituencies as in 2014 were used with only minor border changes. Two constituencies received an additional MEP. Dublin moved from a three-seat to a four-seat constituency while Ireland South went from a four- to a five-seat constituency. The Midlands North-West constituency stayed the same with four seats. Given that the UK had not actually left the EU when the elections were held, the two additional MEPs were ineligible to take their seats until the UK had officially left the EU. In order to be eligible to compete in European elections, a prospective candidate must fulfil one of the following criteria: be nominated by a registered political party; have declarations from sixty people willing to support their candidacy; or pay a deposit of €1,800. These requirements are deemed relatively simple to meet and as such helped contribute towards a record number of candidates running for MEP in the state.

FLASHES OF MODERNITY: STAGE DESIGN AT THE ABBEY THEATRE, 1902-1966 A Doctoral Thesis Submitted to the O’Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance at National University of Ireland Galway By Christopher McCormack Supervised by Dr. Ian R. Walsh August 2018 2 ABSTRACT Responding to Guy Julier’s call for a “knowing practice” of design studies, this doctoral thesis reveals Ireland’s negotiation with modernity through stage design. I use historian T.J. Clark’s definition of modernity as “contingency,” which “turn[s] from the worship of ancestors and past authorities to the pursuit of a projected future”. Over the course of 60 years that saw the transformation of a pre-industrialised colony to a modernised republic, stage designs offered various possibilities of imagining Irish life. In the same period, the Abbey Theatre’s company shuttled itself from small community halls to the early 19th-century Mechanics’ Theatre, before moving to the commercial Queen’s Theatre, and finally arriving at the modern building that currently houses it. This thesis shines new light on that journey. By investigating the design references outside theatre, we can see how Abbey Theatre productions underlined new ways of envisioning life in Ireland.
