‘In war-torn Spain’ – the politics of Irish press coverage of the Spanish civil war
(2017)
O'Brien, Mark
Abstract:
The Spanish civil war was a conflict that acted as a touchstone for the divisions within Irish society. As a newly-independent state that was 93% Catholic, reporting a conflict that involved, on the one hand, an armed rebellion against a democratically elected government, and on the other, the killing of clergy and the burning of churches, proved divisive.1 The decisions by Ireland’s three national newspaper titles to send correspondents to Spain only further polarised opinion as their reportage reinforced divergent opinions on the origins and meaning of the conflict. The examination, through digital archives, of the activities of these correspondents sheds new light on the experiences of war correspondents in this conflict and on the ‘newspaper war’ that sought to influence public and political opinion on it. Similarly, the reactions to these reports give an insight into how divisive the conflict was within a state seeking to bed down its own democratic institutions.

‘With the Irish in France’: the national press and recruitment in Ireland 1914-1916
(2016)
O'Brien, Mark
Abstract:
In January 1916 a party of journalists from seven Irish newspapers visited Irish regiments serving on the western front. Such a privilege came at a price. Organised by the department of recruiting for Ireland, it was made clear to the journalists that this embedded tour had an agenda: they were ‘to set down what they saw there for the benefit of recruiting in Ireland’. This article examines the extent to which the three national titles included on the tour accepted this role of communicating and legitimising recruitment policy. It sheds light on the involvement of two national newspaper editors in shaping recruitment policy in Ireland, illustrates how each of the three national titles reported the tour, and examines the effects such reportage had on recruiting in Ireland.

An Examination of the contribution of off-farm income to the viability and sustainability of farm households and the productivity of farm businesses

Abstract:
End of project report
The number of farm households in Ireland participating in the off-farm labour market has increased significantly in the last decade. According to the National Farm Survey (NFS), the number of farm households where the spouse and/or operator is working off-farm has increased from 37 per cent in 1995 to 58 per cent in 2007. The important contribution of non-farm income to viability of farm households is highlighted in the results of the Agri-Vision 2015 report, which concluded that the number of economically viable farm businesses is in decline and that a significant proportion of farm households are sustainable only because of the presence of off-farm income. Research conducted by Hennessy (2004) demonstrated that approximately 40 percent of farm households have an off-farm income and that almost 30 percent of the farming population are only sustainable because of off-farm income. Clearly, the future viability and sustainability of a large number of farm hou...

Commerce and the Church: the factors that shaped New Journalism in the Irish Independent

Commerce and the Church: the factors that shaped New Journalism in the Irish Independent
(2015)
O'Brien, Mark; Rafter, Kevin
Abstract:
First published in January 1905, the Irish Independent is widely acknowledged as having been influenced by developments in journalism first associated, almost a decade earlier, with the Daily Mail in Britain. However, this article argues that while the Irish Independent adopted many elements of New Journalism its proprietor, William Martin Murphy was strategically selective in how elements were incorporated within his new venture. The success of the Irish Independent can be viewed as the outcome of two processes: the selection and adaption of some aspects of New Journalism to create a successful commercial newspaper but also the exclusion of what were considered the less desirable elements of New Journalism that may have damaged the title’s circulation in a country where the power of the Roman Catholic Church was strong. Murphy, in effect, ‘shopped’ for aspects of New Journalism as practiced elsewhere that he felt were most suitable to the local Irish market. In the latter respect, ...

Fighting and writing: journalists and the 1916 Easter Rising
(2018)
O'Brien, Mark
Abstract:
The relationship between journalists and the Irish rebellion of Easter 1916 is a complex one. While the Rising was led in large part by a miscellany of poets, editors and journalists (many of whom feature prominently in the Rising’s historiography) many lesser-known journalists acted as planners and participants in the insurrection. As well as assessing the contribution of these lesser-known journalists to the events of 1916 and the Rising’s impact on journalistic life in Dublin, it explores how a representative organisation – the Irish Journalists’ Association – acted as a cover for the clandestine insurgent-related activities of many journalists. It finds that the IJA played a key role in facilitating the expression of radical views by this cohort of journalists who could not express their radicalism through their everyday posts on the mainstream media and, by so doing, it played a key, though hitherto unacknowledged, role in the events of Easter 1916.

From Boom to Bust: a Post-Celtic Tiger analysis of the Norms, Values and Roles of Irish Financial Journalists

Abstract:
The collapse of Ireland's economy into its worst recession in modern history has prompted some professional reflection about the roles and responsibilities of the country’s financial journalists. Conor Brady, a former editor of the Irish Times, asked in a commentary article published in his former paper: ‘Was the forming of this crisis reportable earlier? Were emerging trends apparent? Did they [the news media] do as good a job as they might have in flagging the approaching storm?’ Brady, editor of the paper between 1986 and 2002, the period corresponding to the rise of the Celtic Tiger economy, concluded that criticisms of the systemic problems in the financial system were articulated by some figures in key positions in Irish society, but were not reported in the news media ‘in a form that was sufficiently sustained, coherent and authoritative’.

From boom to bust: a post-Celtic Tiger analysis of the norms, values and roles of Irish financial journalists
(2010)
Fahy, Declan; O'Brien, Mark; Poti, Valario
Abstract:
This paper presents an analysis of Irish financial journalists’ views on the reporting of the Celtic Tiger economy and its collapse, addressing criticisms that the specialism failed in its role as watchdog over financial elites. It finds that financial journalism has been marked historically by tensions over proximity to sources, varied audiences for information and specific constraints on newsgathering. The paper argues that journalists were, to different degrees, depending on their audience, part of elite-elite communication networks, where the financial community was largely the source of, and audience for, business news. While the interviewed journalists stated they consciously tried to avoid being captured by their sources by adopting a critical tone and using a variety of sources, they also noted that, when the scale of the global financial crisis and Irish banking scandals emerged, reporting became more critical and sceptical, suggesting that this may become the dominant, po...

Journalism and emerging professionalism in Ireland: the Association of Irish Journalists 1887-1890
(2015)
O'Brien, Mark
Abstract:
This article examines one of the first attempts by Irish journalists to establish a professional representative organisation. Established in near-tandem and in response to the establishment of the National Association of Journalists of Great Britain in 1884, the Association of Irish Journalists presents a unique insight into early attempts at professionalism by Irish journalists that were ultimately thwarted by the bitter divisions that, amid demands for home rule and a violent campaign for tenant rights, characterised Irish politics and journalism in the late nineteenth century. While no records of the association survive, this article utilises digital newspaper archives to shed light on journalistic practice, solidarity and division amid early attempts at professional organisation among journalists in late nineteenth century Ireland.

Abstract:
In July 2002, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) announced that it had sold the live television rights to all of the Republic of Ireland’s home international fixtures during the period 2002 to 2006 to British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) for €7.5 million. In addition, the rights to delayed coverage of the internationals and coverage of the association’s domestic league were sold to the independent commercial station TV3. The state’s public service broadcaster, RTÉ, was left out in the cold thereby ending a forty-year relationship. Only one fifth of Irish homes had access to Sky Sports and although the announcement was greeted with dismay in almost every quarter the FAI described the deal as ‘too good to turn down’. If the deal had gone ahead fans would have had to subscribe to Sky Sports to watch live coverage of their national team playing in the qualifiers for the 2004 European Championship and the 2006 World Cup.

Whose war was it anyway? Irish journalism and the Great War after 1918
(2015)
O'Brien, Mark
Abstract:
While the participation of Irishmen in the Great War has prompted much scholarship, the commemoration of their involvement – and in particular how Irish journalism reported and interpreted such commemorations – has been less examined. This article argues that the journalism surrounding the annual Armistice Day commemoration was a central factor in the battle for power in independent Ireland. It finds that the annual commemoration played a major part in the identity politics of the Irish Free State and that this was greatly intensified by journalistic argument about the motives of those who had fought in the Great War, what that war meant in relation to the freedom of small nations, and how best to commemorate those who had died. It also finds that while such journalistic argument helped engender an air of stigma about Irish involvement in the Great War, later journalistic arguments played a key role in removing that stigma.
