The editor is Ruadhán Mac Cormaic.[2]It is published every day except Sundays.[3]The Irish Timesis Ireland's leading newspaper.[4]It is considered anewspaper of recordfor Ireland.[5]

Though formed as aProtestant Irish nationalistpaper, within two decades and under new owners, it became a supporter ofunionism in Ireland.[6]

In the 21st century, it presents itself politically as "liberal andprogressive",as well as being centre-right on economic issues.[7][8]The editorship of the newspaper from 1859 until 1986 was controlled by theAnglo-IrishProtestant minority, only gaining its first nominalIrish Catholiceditor 127 years into its existence.

The paper's notable columnists have included writer and arts commentatorFintan O'TooleandsatiristMiriam Lord.The lateTaoiseachGarret FitzGeraldwas once a columnist.Michael O'Reganwas theLeinster Housecorrespondent for more than 30 years.

Its most prominent columns have included the political columnBackbencher,byJohn Healy;Drapier(an anonymous piece produced weekly by a politician, giving the 'insider' view of politics);Rite and Reason(a weekly religious column, edited by Patsy McGarry, the religious affairs editor); and the long-runningAn Irishman's Diary.An Irishman's Diarywas written byPatrick Campbellin the forties (under the pseudonym "Quidnunc" ); by Seamus Kelly from 1949 to 1979 (also writing as "Quidnunc" ); and in the early 2000s byKevin Myers.After Myers' move to the rivalIrish Independent,An Irishman's Diaryhas usually been the work of Frank McNally. On the sports pages,Philip Reidis the paper's golf correspondent.

One of its most popular columns was the biting and humorousCruiskeen Lawnsatire column written, originally inIrish,later in English, byMyles na gCopaleen,the pen name of Brian O'Nolan (Brian Ó Nualláin) who also wrote books using the nameFlann O'Brien.Cruiskeen Lawnis ananglicisedspelling of the Irish wordscrúiscín lán,meaning "little full jug".Cruiskeen Lawnmade its debut in October 1940, and appeared with varying regularity until O'Nolan's death in 1966.

History

[edit]

Origins in 19th century

[edit]

A newspaper entitledThe Irish Timeswas founded in 1823, but this closed in 1825. The title was revived decades later byLawrence E. Knox,(later known as Major Lawrence Knox), a 22-year-old army officer. Initially he published thrice-weekly publication but soon shifted to a daily newspaper; the first edition was published on 29 March 1859. He founded it as a moderate Protestant newspaper, reflecting his politics. Knox envisaged it as a "new conservative daily".[9]Its headquarters were at 4 Lower Abbey Street inDublin.Its main competitor in its early days was the DublinDaily Express.[citation needed]

After Knox's death in 1873, the paper was sold to the widow of SirJohn Arnott,aMember of Parliament(MP), a formerLord Mayor of Cork,and owner ofArnotts,one ofDublin's majordepartment stores.

The sale, for £35,000, led to two major changes. Arnott shifted the headquarters to 31 Westmoreland Street; the newspaper operated from this area until 2005. Its politics shifted dramatically, and it became predominantlyUnionistin outlook. It was closely associated with theIrish Unionist Alliance.The paper, along with theIrish Independentand various regional papers, called for the execution of the leaders of the failed1916 Easter Rising.[10]

20th century

[edit]

Though the paper became apublicly-listed companyin 1900, the Arnott family continued to hold a majority shareholding until the 1960s (even after the family lost control, the great-grandson of the original purchaser was the paper's London editor). The last member of the Arnott family to sit on the paper's board was Sir Lauriston Arnott, who died in 1958.[citation needed]

During the 1930s, the editor wasR. M. Smyllie.[11] The longest-serving editor ofThe Irish TimeswasDouglas Gageby.[12]

In 1974, ownership was transferred to a non-charitable[13]trust,The Irish Times Trust.The former owner, MajorThomas McDowell,was made "president for life" of the trust that runs the paper; he was paid a large dividend.[14]

The paper established its first bureau in Asia when foreign correspondentConor O'Clerymoved toBeijing,China, in 1996.[15]

21st century

[edit]

The Irish Timessuffered considerable financial difficulty in 2002 when a drop in advertising revenue coincided with a decision by the company to invest its reserves in the building of a new printing plant. None of the journalists was laid off, but many took a voluntary redundancy package when the paper was greatly restructured.

Some foreign bureaus were closed and it stopped publishing "colour" pages devoted to Irish regions, with regional coverage merged with news. The paper's problems stemmed partly from internal strife, which led to McDowells's daughter, Karen Erwin, not being made chief executive.[16]The reorganisation had the desired effect; after posting losses of almost €3 million in 2002, the paper returned to profit in 2003.[citation needed]

In May 2005, the paper launched a new international edition,[citation needed]which was available in London and southeast England at the same time as other daily newspapers (previously, copies of the Irish edition were flown from Dublin to major cities in Britain on passenger flights, arriving around lunchtime). It was printed at the Newsfax plant inHackney,and uses theFinancial Timesdistribution network.[citation needed]

In 2008 theCentral Bank of IrelandfinedThe Irish Timesafter its management admitted breaking market abuse rules.[17]

In 2009, the Supreme Court ordered the paper to pay €600,000 in costs, despite it having won its case in support of protecting journalistic sources. The court said the paper's destruction of evidence was "reprehensible conduct".[18]

When the Irish government signed theCompanies Act 2014,the Trust registered the overall Irish Times Group as adesignated activity company,The Irish Times Designated Activity Company(The Irish Times DAC).[19]

In December 2017,The Irish Timesreportedly had reached an agreement to purchase the newspaper, radio and website interests ofLandmark Media Investments,which include theIrish Examiner.Initially subject to regulatory approval,[20]the sale was completed in July 2018.[21]

In September 2018,The Irish Timesstarted a voluntary redundancy scheme. This followed theLandmark Media Investmentsacquisition.[22]

Diversification

[edit]

The company has diversified from its originalIrish Timestitle as a source of revenue. Irish Times Limited has taken a majority share for €5m in the Gazette Group Newspapers, a group publishing three local newspapers inWest Dublin,and has acquired a property website, MyHome.ie, the second-largest[23]property internet website in Ireland, for €50m, seen as insurance against the loss of revenue from traditional classified property advertising.[24]

In June 2009, journalists called on the board and trust to review "the flawed investment and diversification strategy of the company" and passed a motion saying that "ongoing investment in loss-making projects poses a serious threat to employment" at the newspaper.[25]Four months later, the company announced a loss of €37 million and that 90 staff would be made redundant.[26]The director, Maeve Donovan, who instigated the "investment and diversification" strategy, subsequently retired. She dismissed suggestions that she would receive a significant "golden handshake", saying that her package would be "nothing out of the ordinary at all". She was given a €1m "ex-gratia" payment by the newspaper "relating to a commutation of pension rights agreed with her".[27]

The managing director said in 2009 that mobile phone applications would be a key investment for newspapers andThe Irish Timesnow[when?]has an application for theiPhoneandAndroidsmartphones.[28]

In June 2010, Gazette Group Newspapers' managing director claimed the company's affairs were being conducted oppressively by its majority shareholder,the Irish Times.[29]

On 2 May 2024, it was announced that the Irish Times Group had acquired obituary businessRIP.ie.[30]

Political stances and controversial stories

[edit]

The editor during the 1930s,R. M. Smyllie,had stronganti-fascistviews, and angered the Irish Catholic hierarchy by opposingGeneral Francoduring theSpanish Civil War.During World War II,The Irish Times,like other national newspapers, had problems with Irish Government censorship. The Times was largely pro-Alliesand was opposed to theÉamon de Valeragovernment policy ofneutrality.[11]

In 1969, the longest-serving editor ofThe Irish Times,Douglas Gageby,was allegedly called a "white nigger" by company chairmanThomas Bleakley McDowell,because of the newspaper's coverage ofNorthern Irelandat the outset ofthe Troubles,which was supportive of Irish nationalism.[12][31]

John Waters,a columnist who spoke out about the perceived vast salaries of the editor, managing director and deputy editor, was sacked and re-hired a week later, in November 2003.[32]Former editorGeraldine Kennedywas paid more than the editor of the UK's top non-tabloid newspaperThe Daily Telegraph,which has a circulation of about nine times that ofThe Irish Times.Later, columnistFintan O'Tooletold theSunday Independent:"We as a paper are not shy of preaching about corporate pay and fat cats but with this there is a sense of excess. Some of the sums mentioned are disturbing. This is not an attack on Ms Kennedy, it is an attack on the executive level of pay. There is double-standard of seeking more job cuts while paying these vast salaries.[33][34]

On 23 December 2004,The Irish Timesran a front-page story on theProvisional IRA's denial of involvement in theNorthern Bank robbery,one of Europe's largest ever, and on the same day refused to print a column byKevin Myerswhich said that the Provisional IRA was responsible.[35]Myers was reported to be shocked by the spiking of his column.[36]Some two weeks later, the paper printed a report that there might, after all, be a "nationalist" connection.[35]Myers later left the paper in May 2006.[37]

The Irish Timestended to support the 2007Lisbon Treaty,which adjusted the operation of theEuropean Union.However, opposing views were also printed, including articles byDeclan GanleyofLibertas Ireland,and other anti-Lisbon campaigners.[citation needed]

On 31 July 2010,The Irish Timespublished an article titled "The fighting Irish" about Irish nationals who enlisted in theBritish Armed Forces.The article featured interviews with members of theRoyal Irish Regimentand theIrish Guards.[38]It was subsequently criticised by current affairs magazineThe Phoenix,which argued that the article romanticised theWar in Afghanistanand served as little more than an indirect advertisement for the British military.The Phoenixaccused the editor ofThe Irish Times,Geraldine Kennedy,of violating the IrishDefence Actwhich prohibits all forms of military recruitment advertising on the behalf of foreign militaries.[39]

On 9 September 2011, the paper published a pseudonymous article by Kate Fitzgerald.[40]Unknown to the paper, she had taken her life on 22 August 2011. The revelation sparked a nationwide debate on suicide with her parents appearing on television to discuss suicide and depression.[41]The article criticised the reaction to her illness by her employer,The Communications Clinic,although it was only after she was identified as the author that her employer became known. The article was later removed from the paper's website,[42]causing controversy online. The editor later told her parents that sections of her article were factually incorrect, but could not say which ones.[43]Kate's parents complained to the Office of the Press Ombudsman about an apology made toThe Communications Clinic,their complaint was upheld.[44]

In September 2019, the paper reprinted an article from theNew York TimesbyWilliam Broad.The article claimed that "the blossoming anxiety over professed health risks of5G[fifth generation wireless technology] 'can be traced to a single scientist and a single chart'".A complaint to the Office of the Press Ombudsman of the Press Council of Ireland was filed by Professor Tom Butler of theUniversity College Cork.The Press Council Ombudsman upheld Butler's complaint, ruling that "The Irish Timesbreached Principle 1 (Truth and Accuracy) of the Code of Practice of the Press Council of Ireland ".[45][46]

Governance

[edit]

In 1974, ownership was transferred to a non-charitable[13]trust,The Irish Times Trust.The former owner, MajorThomas McDowell,was made "president for life" of the trust which runs the paper and was paid a large dividend.[14]However several years later the articles of the Trust were adjusted, giving Major McDowell 10 preference shares and one more vote than the combined votes of all the other directors should any move be made to remove him.[16]McDowell died in 2009.[citation needed] The Trust is regulated by a legal document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and controlled by a body of people (the Governors) under company law. It is not a charity and does not have charitable status. It has no beneficial shareholders and it cannot pay dividends. Any profits made byThe Irish Timescannot be distributed to the Trust but must be used to strengthen the newspaper, directly or indirectly. The Trust is composed of a maximum of 11 Governors. The Trust appoints Governors who are required to be "representative broadly of the community throughout the whole of Ireland". As of June 2012, Ruth Barrington is the chair of the trust, and the governors are Tom Arnold, David Begg, Noel Dorr, Margaret Elliott, Rosemary Kelly, Eoin O'Driscoll, Fergus O'Ferrall, Judith Woodworth, Barry Smyth, and Caitriona Murphy.[citation needed]

In 2015, The Irish Times Trust Limited joined as a member organisation of theEuropean Press Prize.[47]

In 1895, the paper moved from its original offices onMiddle Abbey StreettoD'Olier Streetin the centre of Dublin. "D'Olier Street" became ametonymofThe Irish Timeswhich in turn was personified as "The Old Lady of D'Olier Street". In October 2006, the paper relocated to a new building on nearbyTara Street.[48]

In 1998, a separate prize was for the first time awarded for a work in the Irish language, for the most outstanding title of all of the categories, which was awarded by a separate panel of judges.[49]
