STUDENT JOURNALISM AND NEWS LITERACY PROGRAMME 2020-2021 PRESS PASSelcome to Press Pass 2020 - the eighth year of the NewsBrands Ireland Newspapers in Education (NiE) Winitiative. How does Press Pass work? Press Pass is a complete student journalism and news literacy programme. This workbook is used in conjunction with digital copies of newspapers which are available on www.presspass.ie. By reading the newspapers and using this workbook, students will gain an understanding of how news is produced, how to write like a journalist, and discover the important role newspapers play in our society and the necessity for a free press in a healthy democracy. Teacher’s Lesson Plan A Teacher’s Lesson Plan to accompany this workbook can be downloaded from www.presspass.ie. Designed to equip teachers with practical guidelines and tips for teaching the Press Pass module, the Lesson Plan has options to run the course as a 6 week or 12 week module – entirely dependent on your class group’s interest and ability. What is the aim of Press Pass? The main aim is to encourage students to read and write more. Using newspapers as part of the daily curriculum, teachers and students will get a better understanding of news and current affairs and be exposed to a range of views and analysis - sometimes radical, sometimes infuriating, but always engaging and entertaining - to help them form opinions of their own. What is the Press Pass workbook for? This workbook is to be used in class in conjunction with the newspapers and lesson plan. It looks in detail at the main writing styles and range of skills that make up your daily newspaper: - What is news and how to write a news story - The difference between news and features - The skills required to write commentary - What makes a good photograph - The secrets behind good sports journalism. It also gives some practical hints and tips to students who plan to enter our search for the Student Journalist of the Year. What about the competition? We are always on the lookout for new talent and the next generation of budding writers and journalists. Students can enter the competition in any one of six categories – School Newspaper, News Writing, Opinion, Sport, Features, and Photojournalism categories. Details of how to enter, the rules, guidelines, tips and instructions are explained in the different sections throughout this guidebook. If you’re looking for some inspiration, check out the winning entries in this year’s NewsBrands Ireland Journalism Awards – journalismawards.ie How to enter The closing date for entries is February 5th 2021. There is a maximum of five entries per school for each category. Schools must submit all entries using the entry system in the competition section of the Press Pass website. Our panel of judges will choose the winning entry from each of the six categories, plus two runners-up from each section.

    1 Opening Statement of Counsel for the Tribunal INTRODUCTION Sir, It

    1 Opening Statement of Counsel for the Tribunal INTRODUCTION Sir, it is now my function to address you to deliver an opening statement on behalf of the Tribunal. I will be aided in this task by your other counsel, Mr Patrick Marrinan SC and Ms Kathleen Leader BL. The purpose of this is to outline in public the progress the tribunal is making in relation to the issues comprised in the terms of reference, an overview of the evidence and issues that have emerged so far, without drawing any conclusions in relation to those and to lay out, fairly I hope, the factual landscape that appears to be emerging. This is subject to all the evidence that will emerge in the course of the public hearings that you, sir, are about to embark on. Anything, therefore, that I or my colleagues say is subject to the evidence as it emerges and is tested, but also to the whole process that a tribunal must necessarily bring to bear in relation to that. I shall, as a matter of necessity and fairness, have to outline what is involved in such a process, albeit as briefly as I can. Scope of Inquiry and the Terms of Reference The scope of the tribunal’s inquiries have necessarily been defined and thereby limited by the terms of reference conferred on it by the resolutions of each of the Houses of the Oireachtas. These are set out below for convenience: [a] To investigate the allegation made in a Protected Disclosure under the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, on the 30th of September, 2016, by Superintendent David Taylor, wherein he alleges that he was instructed or directed by former Commissioner Martin Callinan and/or Deputy Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan, to contact the media to brief them negatively against Sergeant Maurice McCabe and in particular to brief the media that Sergeant McCabe was motivated by malice and revenge, that he was to encourage the media to write negatively about Sergeant McCabe, to the effect that his complaints had no substance, that the Gardaí had fully investigated his complaints and found no substance to his allegations and that he was driven by agendas.

    Many Times in My Career in RTÉ, I Have Been Fortunate Enough to Feel Genuinely Proud of the Organisation, the Work We All Do and the Impact It Can Have

    DirecTOR-GENERAL’S Review Many times in my career in RTÉ, I have been fortunate enough to feel genuinely proud of the organisation, the work we all do and the impact it can have. I certainly felt that during 2014. Not just because of the stand out programming, reporting and innovations RTÉ delivered across the year, but also because of the backdrop against which they were made. RTÉ has come through one of the most difficult and turbulent periods in its history. Over the past three years RTÉ has met, head on, the multiple challenges of editorial mistakes, dramatic falls in revenue, new competition and disruptive technology. Faced with these challenges, RTÉ has responded by developing a clear strategy to position the organisation for the long-term. We are now well on the way to evolving from a public service broadcaster to a public service media organisation relevant and essential to the increasingly digital lives of Irish people. The five-year strategy that TR É published in 2013 has set in train a period of change and renewal in RTÉ that continued apace during 2014. Everywhere you look in the organisation there are changes underway to meet the challenges we face. I can now say with confidence that our strategy is working. 2014 will be the second year running that RTÉ will achieve a small financial surplus, 6 Radio 1, lyric fm and 2fm, in addition to the station’s own news service. In parallel, online and on mobile we launched a national, international and I can now say with regional news service in Irish for the first time.

He was then smuggled outside. 18th century • Jack Sheppard took to theft and burglary in 1723, and was arrested and imprisoned five times in 1724 but escaped four times, making him a notorious public figure and wildly popular with the poorer classes. • The Italian author and adventurer Giacomo Casanova escaped from prison in 1757. 19th century • Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from his prison on the island Elba in 1815 and returned to Europe in an attempt to restore his Empire. • The notorious outlaw Billy The Kid managed to escape from prison in 1881, but was captured and shot by Pat Garrett only a few months later. 1900-1950 • German Naval Air Service Kapitänleutnant Gunther Plüschow escaped from the Donington Hall prisoner of war camp in 1915. • John Dillinger served time at the Indiana State Penitentiary at Michigan City, until 1933, when he was paroled. Within four months, he was back in jail in Lima, Ohio , but his gang sprang him, killing the jailer, Sheriff Jessie Sarber. Most of the gang was captured again by the end of the year in Tucson, Arizona , due to a fire at the Historic Hotel Congress. Dillinger alone was sent to the Lake County jail in Crown Point, Indiana . He was to face trial for the suspected killing of police officer William O'Malley during a bank shootout in East Chicago, Indiana , some time after his escape from jail. During this time on trial, a famous photograph was taken of Dillinger putting his arm on prosecutor Robert Estill's shoulder when suggested to him by reporters.
