  • 1 the Irish Sunday Newspaper
    1 The Irish Sunday newspaper: its role, character and history JOE BREEN & MARK O’BRIEN In his foreword to his 1967 edited volume, Your Sunday Paper, the British culture critic, Richard Hoggart, noted that ‘though a great deal has been written on the press in general, there is relatively little on the Sunday press in itself’.1 Many more words and volumes have addressed the general topic of newspapers since 1967, but, peculiarly, there remains something of a lacuna regarding study of the history of the Sunday press in Britain or in Ireland. Kevin Williams echoes that sentiment when he notes that the ‘role of Sunday is often neglected in standard histories of the British press, where they appear in a secondary role to the exploits of the daily newspaper’ while Brake, Kaul and Turner argue that the history of press scholarship privileges ‘daily press above all else’.2 This lack of critical scrutiny is all the more surprising when the Sundays have long lorded over their daily competitors in circulation and, some might argue, in influence. In Ireland, for instance, data at the Newsbrands website show that, for the period July to December 2017, daily newspapers in Ireland sold an average of 399,731 copies a day while Sundays recorded 567,600 sales.3 Williams notes that the earliest Sunday newspapers were serious publications and that it was ‘the format of sex, gossip and crime developed by papers such as the News of the World, Reynolds News and Lloyd’s Weekly News which enabled the Sundays to become Britain’s best-selling newspapers from the mid-nineteenth century’.4 He also records that the News of the World reached its sales peak in 1950 when it was calculated that 8.44 million people bought the paper; the highest daily sale recorded was 5.27 million for the Daily Mirror in 1967.5 The oldest Sunday newspaper in these islands, and possibly in the world, is The Observer which was first published in London in December 1791 and was, ‘in varying degrees a scurrilous gossip sheet, government propaganda rag and provocative thorn-in-the- side of the establishment.

  • Ancient Greek Tragedy and Irish Epic in Modern Irish
    MEMORABLE BARBARITIES AND NATIONAL MYTHS: ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY AND IRISH EPIC IN MODERN IRISH THEATRE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Katherine Anne Hennessey, B.A., M.A. ____________________________ Dr. Susan Cannon Harris, Director Graduate Program in English Notre Dame, Indiana March 2008 MEMORABLE BARBARITIES AND NATIONAL MYTHS: ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY AND IRISH EPIC IN MODERN IRISH THEATRE Abstract by Katherine Anne Hennessey Over the course of the 20th century, Irish playwrights penned scores of adaptations of Greek tragedy and Irish epic, and this theatrical phenomenon continues to flourish in the 21st century. My dissertation examines the performance history of such adaptations at Dublin’s two flagship theatres: the Abbey, founded in 1904 by W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, and the Gate, established in 1928 by Micheál Mac Liammóir and Hilton Edwards. I argue that the potent rivalry between these two theatres is most acutely manifest in their production of these plays, and that in fact these adaptations of ancient literature constitute a “disputed territory” upon which each theatre stakes a claim of artistic and aesthetic preeminence. Partially because of its long-standing claim to the title of Ireland’s “National Theatre,” the Abbey has been the subject of the preponderance of scholarly criticism about the history of Irish theatre, while the Gate has received comparatively scarce academic attention. I contend, however, that the history of the Abbey--and of modern Irish theatre as a whole--cannot be properly understood except in relation to the strikingly different aesthetics practiced at the Gate.

  • On Newspapers in Ireland at Present, There Are No Women Running Any Of
    On newspapers in Ireland At present, there are no women running any of the major newspapers in the Republic of Ireland. We have to look at the past to find women who have served as editors-in-chief of the largest newspapers in the country. A particularly noteworthy case was that of Ms. Fiona Mchugh, appointed editor-in-chief of the Irish edition of The Sunday Times at the beginning of the 21st century, holding the role for 5 years. In 2002, Ms. Geraldine Kennedy became the editor of the Irish Times, the second largest daily newspaper in the country. She headed the newspaper until 2011. Following them, a number of women have become editors-in-chief of some of Ireland's leading newspapers. It is the case of Ms. Nóirín Hegarty (appointed editor in 2005 of the now defunct Sunday Tribune), Ms. Anne Harris (editor-in-chief of the most circulated Sunday newspaper in Ireland, the Sunday Independent, from 2012 to 2014) or Ms. Claire Grady (editor-in-chief of Ireland's leading daily newspaper, the Irish Independent, although she only held the post for 1 year). However, as stated above, there is currently a significant lack of women at the top of the country's leading newspapers. The genders of the editors-in-chief among the 7 largest daily national newspapers by circulation in the Republic of Ireland1 are shown in Table 1 below2: TABLE 1 Circulation (July - Political Publishing Gender editor- Newspaper December alignment group in-chief (name) 2018) (ABC)3 Independent Irish Conservative, Male (Cormac 83,900 News & Media Independent populist Bourke) (Mediahuis) Irish Times Male ( Paul Irish Times 58,131 Liberal Trust O'Neill) Right-wing, Male (Kieran The Sun4 52,121 News UK conservative McDaid)5 Irish Daily Left-wing, Male (John 44,233 Reach plc Star6 populist Mitchell)7 1 The data comes from the monthly data published by Audit Bureau of Circulations (“ABC”) relating to the period between July and December 2018.

These include Ireland’s three best selling dailies: The Irish Times, the Irish Independent, and the Irish Daily Star, and a regional newspaper with a notable online presence, the Limerick Leader. This research examines the day-to-day operations of Irish news organisations; the resources devoted to their digital media/online departments, the revenue-generation strategies in place to monetize the work of these departments; and the prioritization given to the various mediums through which information is distributed.

  • 1 Independent Newspapers and Irish Society, 1973-98 Mark O'brien Writing in 1889 the Legendary Nationalist MP and Newspaper Ed
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DCU Online Research Access Service 1 Independent Newspapers and Irish society, 1973-98 Mark O’Brien Writing in 1889 the legendary nationalist MP and newspaper editor, T.P. O’Connor took a side-swipe at those publications that proclaimed their independence of all political and business interests. He declared that he liked ‘an “independent” journal as little as the politician who assumes to himself the same adjective’. In his long experience of newspapers and politics, he had, he declared, ultimately found that ‘independence’ was simply ‘a euphemism for personal vanity, personal interest, or mere crankiness of temper and opinion’.1 As we have seen in chapter two, despite its declaration that ‘The extravagances of partisanship will be unknown in the Irish Independent’, William Martin Murphy was not shy in using the Irish Independent to defend his commercial interests during the Great Lockout of 1913.2 Similarly, the Irish Press, although declaring that it would not be ‘the organ of an individual, or a group or a party’, was the political organ of Eamon de Valera and, to a lesser extent, Fianna Fáil.3 In contrast, the Irish Times was upfront about where it stood: its first edition had declared ‘As Irishmen we shall think and speak; but it shall be as Irishmen loyal to the British connection...’4 As Ireland modernised in the 1960s and as RTÉ began television broadcasting that was, by statute, obliged to be fair and impartial in relation to news and current affairs, the role of the newspaper as an advocate or defender of its owner’s political or commercial interests became outdated.

    TEXT OF THE INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS DELIVERED BY: DR IOGNÁID Ó MUIRCHEARTAIGH, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University, President, National University of Ireland, Galway, on 20 September 2007, on the occasion of the conferring of the Degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa, on EUGENE McGEE A Sheánsailéir agus a mhuintir na hOllscoile: Is mór an onóir domsa fear uasal, tuarisceoir den scoth, eagarthóir irise, foillsitheoir, bainisteoir fóirne peile thar cinn, agus saineolaí ar chursaí spoirt, Eugene McGee, a chur in bhúr láthair le go mbronnfar dochtúireacht oinigh air. I hope I can be excused a personal aside before I introduce Eugene McGee this afternoon. Exactly 25 years ago from yesterday, September 19, 1982, I brought my eldest daughter, Róisín, then seven years of age, to Croke Park to see her first all-Ireland final. It was Kerry versus Offaly, and Róisín asked me which team she should cheer for. I told her “Kerry of course”, knowing the importance of instilling basic values at an early age. All was wonderful until the final minutes, when the Séamus Darby goal dramatically ended the dream of an historic Kerry five-in-a-row. Róisín, totally traumatised, turned to me and said “it’s all your fault, you told me to cheer for Kerry”. She still has not forgiven me, and so it was with some mixed feelings that I accepted the honour of presenting to you Chancellor, for the conferral on him of an honorary doctorate, the manager of that Offaly team, Eugene McGee. I will return to the matter of the 1982 game later on.

  • Advisory Group on Media Mergers Report 2008
    ADVISORY GROUP ON MEDIA MERGERS Report to the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan T.D. June 2008 1 1. Chapter 1- Introduction INTRODUCTION TO REPORT 1.1 In March of 2008, the then Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin T.D., announced the establishment of an advisory group (the Group) to review the current legislative framework regarding the public interest aspects of media mergers in Ireland. This review was undertaken in the context of a wider review taking place on the operation and implementation of the Competition Act 2002. 1.2 The Group was asked to examine the provisions of the Competition Act 2002 in relation to media mergers and in particular the “relevant criteria” specified in the Act, by reference to which the Minister currently considers media mergers. 1.3 The Terms of Reference of the Group were:- To review and to consider the current levels of plurality and diversity in the media sector in Ireland. To examine and review the “relevant criteria” as currently defined in the Act. To examine and consider how the application of the “relevant criteria” should be given effect and by whom. To examine the role of the Minister in assessing the “relevant criteria” from a public interest perspective and the best mechanism to do so. To examine international best practice, including the applicability of models from other countries. To make recommendations, as appropriate, on the above. 2 1.4 The membership of the Group comprised:- Paul Sreenan S.C. (Chairman) Dr. Olive Braiden. Peter Cassells Marc Coleman John Herlihy Prof.
