Appendix 1: Sample Newspapers and Media Coverage

Sample Newspapers

e following newspapers are referred to throughout the monograph as the ‘sample newspapers’ that were collected over the six months data collection period (1 March 2010 to 31 August 2010).

Andersonstown News Belfast T e legraph Irish News News Letter North Belfast News South Belfast News Sunday Life Sunday World, Northern Edition

In selecting the newspapers, the ideological diﬀerences existing within
Northern Ireland’s media have been considered and the selection is representative (i.e. e Irish News aligns with the Nationalist viewpoint, whereas the

Newsletter aligns with the Unionist viewpoint and the Belfast T e legraph

appears not to favour or align with one speciﬁc cultural tradition or particular political ethos).
