  • Ireland's Alternative Press: Writing from the Margins
    Ireland's Alternative Press: Writing from the Margins Lance Pettit Introduction [Alternative media are those that] avowedly reject or challenge established and institutionalised politics, in the sense that they all advocate change in society, or at least a critical assessment of traditional values.[...] Often founded to campaign on one particular issue, alternative media face considerable problems of survival, given their tendency to be under-financed, and unattractive to advertisers and the mass commercial market.(O'Sullivan, 1994: 10) Given the relative scarcity of published sources on the press in Ireland, it is perhaps not surprising that there is little writing on alternative publications. An Phoblacht/Republican News (AP) Gay Community News (GCN) and The Big Issues (BI) might appear to exemplify O'Sullivan's definition of 'alternative media'. This article provides an examination of the term using examples that are specific to the social and political context of Ireland in the 1990s. The material presented here is largely based on three, hour-long interviews carried out with the editors in October 1996. Table 1 below provides some key facts about the publications for reference and comparison. The aim of this article is to understand these publications in relation to, and indicators of, the wider cultural dynamic of contemporary Ireland and its mainstream press. Table 1.

From everything we know so far, Chardon High School, the local police, county sheriff and other authorities performed admirably. Informed observers agree that was very much due to the fact there was an operational plan in place and that plan had been tested over the years. Teachers and students also knew exactly what to do in a lockdown situation, quickly taking cover and barricading themselves in darkened classrooms to wait for rescue. However, our expertise is on the communications side: when it hits the fan, what do you say; how do you say it; to whom do you say it; and when do you say it.
