Irish Edition Records Collection 3049 Irish Edition Records, 1916-1991 (bulk 1981-1991) 47 boxes, 3 flat files, 30 linear feet Collection 3049 Abstract The Irish Edition newspaper, founded in Philadelphia in 1981, is a regional monthly Irish- American newspaper with a focus on metropolitan Philadelphia, including south New Jersey and the Wilmington area of Delaware. While primarily concentrated on local concerns, the paper’s circulation is of a national scale and covers current events, politics, business, and the culture of Irish and Irish Americans both at home and abroad. The founders of the paper, Anthony R. Byrne and Jane M. Duffin, have served respectively as publisher and editor from the beginning of the paper to the current day. The paper is presently located in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. The collection is divided into eight series, and the materials themselves consist of correspondence; article drafts and submissions; advertisements and ad copy; press releases and newsletters; publications and mailings from various information and newswire services; a smattering of financial materials; newspaper clippings and articles; and photographs and a few slides. Background note Founded in 1981 in Philadelphia by Publisher Anthony R. Byrne, Managing Editor Nancy Mortimer, and Associate Editor Jane Duffin, the Irish Edition was intended to meet the perceived demand for local coverage on Irish and Irish-American affairs, which were not adequately represented in existing newspapers. An early editorial listed the paper’s goals as being, “To sustain and enrich the American Irish tradition….To increase communication about Irish affairs here and ‘in the land we left’….To encourage and record in words and pictures the current local Irish experience.” An additional goal of the publishers appears to have been to dispel commonly held beliefs and myths about the nature of Irish ancestry and culture: the paper strives to eliminate the popular misconception of “Irishness” as epitomized by green beer and shamrocks. While the first edition of the paper, published in March 1981, began with a stated intent to focus on local Irish-American affairs, it by no means neglected issues of a broader geographic, or topical, scope. For example, while the first issue contained several pages of local events, gossip, and notices, it also featured a below-the-fold front page story entitled “Bobby Sands is Going to Die,” referring to the activist, political prisoner, and member of British Parliament who passed away in May 1981 after sustaining a 66-day 1 The Historical Society of Pennsylvania Irish Edition Records Collection 3049 hunger strike. The paper has similarly consistently devoted column and advertising space to local, national, and international concerns over the entire course of its publication. In addition, a small amount of the materials collected by the collection, presumably as reference files, indicate a staff interest in international affairs beyond Irish concerns. It is likely that these materials were collected by Editor Jane Duffin, who had worked for community development and civil rights in the 1960s in Louisiana, followed by a career closer to her origins in Pennsylvania, teaching sociology. The paper’s topical scope includes current events, politics, business, and the culture of both Irish and the Irish-American community locally, nation-wide, and in Ireland. Among the numerous regular columns are included additional feature articles on entertainment and book reviews, Irish heritage and history, the Gaelic language, sports, obituaries, local gossip, Irish immigrants’ stories of moving to the United States, and a community calendar. Notable stories have ranged from a 1985 interview with Sean MacBride, who was a political activist, co-founder of Amnesty International, IRA lieutenant under Michael Collins, and winner of both the Nobel and Lenin peace prizes during the 1970s; to coverage of the Irish reaction to the events of September 11, 2001. The Irish Edition’s circulation reached 15,000 annually in 1984, and has held steady at that rate to the current day. 1 The paper is supported primarily by advertisement revenue and subscribers, with the 2003 ad rates ranging from $700 for a black and white full-page advertisement, to $750 for a color full-page ad.2 From the early beginnings of the paper to the present, there have typically been a regular staff of journalists, as well as submissions from local Irish-American notables and the general public. Scope & content The collection documents the publishing activities of the Irish Edition, as well as a large number of primarily local organizations, individuals, and businesses focused on Irish ethnicity, culture, and events. While there is a rich array of article drafts, correspondence, and reference materials present, there are few records relating to administrative or financial aspects of the newspaper. The collection dates span from 1916 to 1991, with the bulk of the materials produced between 1981 and 1991. Materials pre-dating the foundation of the paper are believed to have been collected by individuals on staff at the Irish Edition, who most likely brought these items to the paper as reference files. The collection’s series arrangement reflects the types of materials collected and published by the paper, in the following eight series: Series I. Correspondence; Series II. Article Drafts, Advertisements, and Submissions; Series III. Press Releases, Community Events, and Newsletters; Series IV. Information and Wire Services; Series V. Other Reference Materials; Series VI. Financial; Series VII. Miscellaneous; and Series VIII. Photographs and Slides. 1 Irish Edition. 2003. In Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory [database online].

Bowker, LLC, New Providence, NJ 2 The Historical Society of Pennsylvania Irish Edition Records Collection 3049 Materials held in the collection served as both reference for and rough drafts of articles presumably published in the newspaper; the collection is nevertheless significant for the large amount of draft materials that did not reach publication, the voluminous amount of reference materials leading to the creation of articles and stories, and finally for documentation of the newspaper publishing process and industry during an era when it was drastically altered by mass adoption of computer technology. The collection chronicles the large Irish-American community of the Philadelphia and Delaware Valley area, giving insight into the Irish-American experience, identity, political views, and cultural practices of the community during the 1980s and early 1990s. Many of the materials demonstrate the degree of connection — both perceived and actual — of Irish Americans in the United States to the “homeland” of their predecessors. In addition, while many Irish and Irish-American newspapers take a formal stance on political issues in Ireland, the publishers of the Irish Edition appear to have gone to great lengths to represent a wide array of the existing viewpoints on the British-Irish conflict, the questions of home rule for Ireland, Sinn Fein and the IRA, religious questions, and many other issues of heightened importance during the turbulent era of the 1980s. Series I. Correspondence is broken into seven subseries along the following lines: correspondence among staff and regular contributors to the newspaper, primarily concerning stories; letters sent and received by the paper; Letters to the Editor; holiday cards; business cards; and resumes and writing samples submitted by prospective journalists or employees of the paper. The Letters to the Editor subseries is perhaps the most interesting of these, as it contains a wide array of views on issues of interest to the Irish community, as well as commentary on Irish Edition articles previously published. Included in the correspondence are a few letters between editors of other newspapers and the Irish Edition, largely regarding subscription exchanges. Correspondence received by the newspaper from organizations represented in Series III is located in the files of each respective organization. All other letters are kept together, with the letters filed in chronological order. Series II. Article Drafts, Advertisements, and Submissions consists of five subseries that are divided by type of document, as well as by authorship. Subseries A., Regular feature columns consists of article drafts bearing a particular title (News Briefs, for example) that were regularly occurring columns written by both staff and freelance journalists. Subseries B., Articles, by author, consists of article drafts submitted by authors who did not appear to have their own column, but frequently submitted to the paper, and may have been regular staff journalists. The third subseries, Articles, Other authors, differs from the second in that it contains

    keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now.

  • Irish Bands of the 60S & 70S | Sample Answer
    Irish Bands of the 60s & 70s | Sample answer Ceoltóiri Cualann was an Irish group formed by Sean O’Riada in 1961. O’Riada had the idea of forming Ceoltóiri Cualann following the success of a group he had put together to perform music for the play “The Song of the Anvil” in 1960. Ceoltóiri Cualann would be a group to play Irish traditional songs with accompaniment and traditional dance tunes and slow airs. All folk music recorded before that time had been highly orchestrated and done in a classical way. Another aim of O’Riada’s was to revitalise the work of harpist and composer Turlough O’Carolan. Ceoltóiri Cualann was launched during a festival in Dublin in 1960 at an event called Recaireacht an Riadaigh and was an immediate success in Dublin. The group mainly played the music of O’Carolan, sean nós style songs and Irish traditional tunes, and O’Riada introduced the bodhrán as a percussion instrument. Ceoltóiri Cualann had ceased playing with any regularity by 1969 but reunited to record “O’Riada” and “O’Riada Sa Gaiety” that year. “O’Riada Sa Gaiety” was not released until after O’Riada’s death in 1971. The members of Ceoltóiri Cualann, some of whom went on to form “The Chieftains” in 1963 were O’Riada (harpsichord and bodhrán), Martin Fay, John Kelly (both fiddle), Paddy Moloney (uilleann pipes), Michael Turbidy (flute), Sonny Brogan, Éamon de Buitléir (both accordian), Ronnie Mc Shane (bones), Peadar Mercer (bodhrán), Seán Ó Sé (tenor voice) and Darach Ó Cathain (sean nós singer. Some examples of their tunes are “O’ Carolan’s Concerto” and “Planxty Irwin”.

  • What's It Like to Be Black and Irish?
    “What’s it like to be black and Irish?” “Like a pint of Guinness.” The above quote is taken from an interview with Phil Lynott, the charismatic lead singer of the Celtic rock band Thin Lizzy, on Gay Byrne’s ‘The Late Late Show’. Lynott’s often playful and bold responses to such questions about his identity served to mask his overwhelming feelings of insecurity and ambivalent sense of belonging. As an illegitimate black child brought up in the 1950s in a strict Catholic family in Crumlin, a working-class district of Dublin, Lynott was seen to have a “paradoxical personality” (Bridgeman, qtd. in Thomson 4): his upbringing imbued him “with an acute sense of national and gender identity” (Smyth 39), yet his skin color and illegitimacy made him the target of racial and social abuse in a predominantly white and conservative Ireland. For Lynott, becoming a rockstar offered an opportunity to reinvent himself and be whoever he wanted to be. While he played up to the rock and roll lifestyle in which he was embedded, Lynott is often considered to have been a man trapped inside a caricature (Thomson 301). Geldof (qtd. in Putterford 182) believes that this rocker persona was Lynott’s ultimate downfall and led to his untimely death at just 36 years of age in 1986. For all his swagger and bravado, behind the mask, Lynott was a troubled, young man searching for a place to belong. While many books have been written about the life of Phil Lynott (e.g. Putterford; Lynott; Thomson), few have drawn attention to the notion of identity and the way in which music provided Lynott with an outlet to explore his self.

  • Enforcement Decision Series (No
    ENFORCEMENT DECISION SERIES (NO. E/05/001) Competition Act 2002 Decision of The Competition Authority (Case COM/05/03) The alleged predation by the Drogheda Independent Company Limited in the market for advertising in local newspapers in the greater Drogheda area Date of Decision: 7th December 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Competition Authority (“the Authority”) has taken the view that alleged predatory conduct by the Drogheda Independent Company Limited (“the DIC”) does not breach the Competition Act 2002. This view is taken on the basis that the DIC is not dominant nor could its alleged conduct constitute an abuse. The alleged conduct is arguably pro-consumer and more indicative of intense competition in the market than predatory conduct by a dominant undertaking. The Authority’s investigation was prompted by complaints from the publisher of the Drogheda Leader (“the Leader”) alleging that the DIC was abusing a dominant position by: launching the Drogheda Independent Weekend Extra (“the Extra”) in 1997, selling advertising below cost since 1997, and selectively discounting the price of advertising in the Extra during January and February 2003. The Authority rejected the first two of these allegations on the basis that the DIC’s actions could not plausibly be considered as predation and the theory of predation was inconsistent with market facts. The Authority therefore only outlines in detail its analysis of the allegation of below cost selling of advertising space in the Extra during early 2003 in this decision note. The Authority considers that the relevant market in which the DIC competes is the market for advertising in local newspapers in the greater Drogheda area.

  • A Post-Nationalist History of Television in Ireland
    A Post-Nationalist History of Television in Ireland “Brennan’s book does what good history writing should do: it tells compelling stories of the past, while also helping us to understand the present and look ahead to the future. The critical focus on audience memories is especially inno- vative, and makes for engaging, thought-provoking reading. This should be an essential text, not just in Ireland, but—in keeping with its ‘post-nationalist’ approach—for an international readership.” —David Buckingham, Loughborough University, UK “This is a clever and original book which narrates the history of Irish television through the experience of its viewers. Because it is so different, and so well writ- ten and insightful, it will be of wide interest to people outside Ireland engaged in studying cultural history or investigating media infuence.” —James Curran, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK “Modern media are now so over-arching, complex, and interdependent that any fresh analysis faces extraordinary challenges. Traditional approaches generally give pride of place to the power of the media—real or assumed. This book breaks new ground, and has a sinewy, research-rich and original basis for its fascinating approach to media historiography. This not only poses a highly relevant challenge to more narrowly focused academic approaches, including the historical ones, but will enrich public understanding of the media generally.” —John Horgan, Dublin City University, Ireland “A creative re-examination of the history of television in Ireland that describes and analyses the way this new medium penetrated into domestic life and shaped people’s lifestyles, attitudes and understanding of themselves.” —Tom Inglis, University College Dublin, Ireland “This is an original, theoretically sophisticated and historically informed book.
