Journalists and other editorial personnel should take care to preserve RTÉ’s editorial integrity in any comments or postings made by them on social media sites, even if these are of a personal or hybrid type. Comments or criticisms on public events, issues or personalities, whether originated or copied/ shared, or whether explicit or implied, which may appear to compromise the editorial independence and impartiality of an RTÉ editorial professional or RTÉ itself are damaging to RTÉ’s interest and public responsibility and should not be engaged in. Social media and broadcasting are Reason for These Guidelines Classifications of Accounts powerful partners.

  • Cry from the Sea
    CRY FROM THE SEA A FILM BY VIC SARIN THE STORY In the aftermath of World War One and the Irish Civil War, Seamus Óg Mac Grianna leads a solitary life, tending to a lighthouse on a picturesque island of Ireland’s coast, whose rocky, sea-battered shores mirror the turmoil inside him. Each morning, Seamus rows out to the spot where his son drowned a decade earlier and visits a graveyard next to the lighthouse. Each night he drinks alone in the pub. His only company is Maire, a spinster who sees to his every need and quietly longs for him. But Seamus is forced out of his routine of isolation when he fnds himself at war with the island’s new priest, who insists Seamus’s late wife should be buried in the consecrated ground of the church cemetery, rather than a private plot next to the lighthouse. As Seamus struggles against pressure from the villagers, he fnds an unexpected ally in Edith, a visiting American war widow whose husband died in the very wreck Seamus’s son was searching for when he drowned. Edith and Seamus bond over their shared grief, much to Maire’s displeasure. As this complicated new relationship gives rise to forgotten feelings and the priest’s eforts to reinter his wife push him to a breaking point, Seamus must leave behind the comfortable sadness of his life and face the risks that come with openness, hope and change. To let his love for the family he lost not lock him inside himself, but radiate outward.

  • Ireland: in Search of Reform for Public Service Media Funding
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ulster University's Research Portal Ireland: In search of reform for public service media funding Phil Ramsey, Ulster University [email protected] http://ulster.academia.edu/PhilRamsey | http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5873-489X Published as: Ramsey, P. (2018) Ireland: In search of reform for public service media funding. In C. Herzog, H. Hilker, L. Novy and Torun, O. (Eds), Transparency and Funding of Public Service Media: deutsche Debatte im internationalen Kontex (pp.77–90). Wiesbaden: Springer VS. Abstract This chapter discusses public service media (PSM) in Ireland in the context of the recent financial crisis and major demographic changes. It considers some of the factors impacting domestic PSM that are similar to those in other mature media systems in Europe, such as declining funding streams and debates over PSM-funding reform. After introducing the Irish social and political-economic context and providing for a brief historical review of PSM in Ireland, the roles of the domestic PSM organizations RTÉ and TG4 in the Irish media market are discussed. The chapter addresses initial government support for the introduction of a German-style household media fee, a Public Service Broadcasting Charge. While the charge was intended for introduction in 2015, it was later ruled out by the Irish Government in 2016. Ireland: in search of reform for public service media funding Public Service Media (PSM) has a long-tradition in the Republic of Ireland (ROI, hereafter Ireland), dating back to the commencement of the state radio service 2RN in January 1926.1 The state’s involvement in broadcasting later gave way to the main public broadcaster RTÉ, which has broadcast simultaneously on television and radio since New Year’s Eve 1961, and latterly, delivered public service content online.

  • 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.

Blood runs down her legs Sand the scent of charred meat lingers on her flesh. It hurts to walk but she staggers home to parents that don’t seem to notice. They can’t keep their hands off each other and, besides, they have a new infant, sweet and wobbly as a jelly baby. Peach must patch herself up alone so she can go to college and see her boyfriend, Green. But sleeping is hard when she is haunted by the gaping memory of a mouth, and working is hard when burning sausage fat fills her nostrils, and eating is impossible when her stomach is swollen tight as a drum. In this dazzling debut, Emma Glass articulates the unspeakable with breathtaking clarity and verve. Intensely physical, with rhythmic, visceral prose, Peach marks the arrival of a ground- breaking new talent. 11 JANUARY 2018 HARDBACK • 9781408886694 • £12.99 ‘An immensely talented young writer .

  • A Report on Market Structure, Dynamics and Developments in Irish Media
    Broadcasting Authority of Ireland A report on market structure, dynamics and developments in Irish media Supplied in support of the BAI’s consultation on its Broadcasting Services Strategy December 2017 Mediatique Limited 65 Chandos Place London WC2N 4HG United Kingdom www.mediatique.co.uk BAI – Market structure, dynamics and developments Executive summary Introduction ° The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (‘BAI’) is the regulator of the Irish broadcasting market. ° Among other statutory duties under the Broadcasting Act (2009), the BAI is required to prepare a Broadcasting Services Strategy (‘BSS’) covering the provision of broadcasting services in Ireland. The BAI's current BSS was agreed in 2011. The new BSS will reflect the current Strategy Statement in force (2017-19) covering the BAI’s key objectives around plurality, diversity, support for indigenous content and promotion of content in the Irish language. ° Mediatique was commissioned to provide a detailed overview of current and future developments in the Irish broadcasting landscape, and to consider the likely trajectory over the next five years. This work is aimed at informing the new BSS and, in particular, helping the BAI define its approach to regulation in the light of market dynamics over time. ° Our brief included consideration of consumer behaviour, platform and distribution developments, changes in technology and evolving business models associated with broadcasting. ° We were asked specifically to analyse the sustainability of revenues that underpin expenditure on audio and visual content, particularly Irish content, and to consider whether the current regulatory framework needs to evolve in line with market dynamics. ° Within our wider work, the BAI has asked for analysis on two specific topics – prospects for the launch of commercial digital terrestrial multiplexes carrying TV channels to supplement those already available on Saorview; and whether the BAI, working with industry and Government, should seek to promote digital audio broadcasting (‘DAB’).
