Public Service Media in Ireland following reunification? Comparative approaches and critical questions
In the possible event of the reunification of Ireland, the fate of the current Public Service Media (PSM) organisations in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland is unclear. Although imagining PSM for what would be a newly constituted country is in part a speculative exercise, it is becoming less hypothetical and more urgent, requiring thoughtful and responsible planning. Doing so also offers a chance to consider the fundamental purpos…

“The Irish Are Coming”: Irish Cinema Comes of Age
Irish Film and Television – 2021
Introduction. Shuttered cinemas and an abundance of content: the 2021 paradox. In September 2021, RTE screened Ken Wardrop’s Cocooned, an exploration of how the elderly in Ireland coped with the unprecedented sequence of lockdowns prompted by the Covid pandemic. Though emphasizing the humour with which the subjects of the film confronted their situation, the documentary also
Irish Film and Television the Year in Review – 2020
Part of the appeal of cinema-going since its inception, especially with the emergence of purpose built picture palaces designed to appeal to more well-heeled patrons, has been the opportunity to seal oneself into a dark, womb-like environment and succumb the stimulation of the optical and auditory senses by high definition images and crystal clear sounds. In

Sometimes, even an annual review feels like it might be too frequent, especially if its subject is an industry wherein the activity often fails to resolve itself within neat 12 months intervals. The policies put in place to incentivise production and the broader development of the screen sector in Ireland operate across five year horizons
Irish Film and Television – 2018
Introduction. Fin de Cinema? The Irish Screen Sector in 2018. In July 2018, the Irish Film Board announced that it was changing its name to Screen Ireland. It was done with relatively little fanfare or media attention and indeed still has to fully work through: as late as January 2019 Irish films were being simultaneously released

Waking the Film Makers: Diversity and Dynamism in Irish Screen Industries 2017 Women have to fight really, really hard to get support to do a feature film ... If you just take for example, the Film Board, they’re aware of it, they’re kind of ashamed of it after Waking The Feminists
Pitstop of Death’
The airport at Shannon, County Clare, in the west of Ireland, has been a strategically important US military stopping-point in the wars of the twenty-first century and consequently has at times become a focal point for the various forms of protest that have been adopted by the Irish peace movement. This study, drawing upon a database of Irish national newspaper articles dealing with the anti-war movement from September 2002 to May 2003 – a period…

The Irish Are Coming: Irish Film and Television in 2015 Stephen Colbert: “How did I do with your name? ‘Sursha’.” Saoirse Ronan: “’Sursha” is perfect. ‘Sursha’ like inertia. SC: “What’s the worst pronunciation of your name that you’ve ever had?” SR: “I’ve had a lot of ‘Sore-sees’, ‘Suarez’, ‘Sair-she’, ‘Sheer-says’... SC: “You do look a little bit
These people protesting might not be so strident if their own jobs were on the line’
In this article, the authors examine the ways in which the social movement in Ireland opposed to the Iraq war was represented in the national press. The article draws upon data generated by the largest research project of its type ever conducted in an Irish context. The authors considered representations of the anti-war movement in 11 daily and Sunday newspapers over a period of 9 months. One of the principal threads that ran through newspaper co…

I’m not a big fan of Irish movies, I don’t find them to be technically that accomplished and I don’t find them that intelligent. So I’m trying to get away from the description of the movie as an Irish film in a way. John Michael McDonagh, 2014 When John
Public service broadcasting beyond public service broadcasters
Since the 1980s a combination of political and technological change has challenged the assumption that only public service broadcasters can provide public service broadcast content. This article examines a particular set of responses to this challenge: schemes created to fund public service content production available to both private and public service broadcasters through competitive tenders. This article considers how the working definitions o…

Does commercial orientation matter for policy-game framing? A content analysis of television and radio news programmes on public and private stations
This article examines the relationship between different ownership types in broadcast news to determine the portrayal of election coverage as a strategic game against a focus on policy issues. Using a content analysis of six television and radio programmes during the 2011 Irish general election, we test hypotheses about differences in coverage provided by public service programming with equivalent private sector coverage. Our findings improve upo…
The impact of the economic crisis on media framing
Media coverage of elections in Europe and North America has increasingly focused on the campaign as a game rather than a policy debate. This is often explained by the changes in media pressures. It may also reflect the narrowing of policy space between left and right and the comparative prosperity enjoyed in Europe and North America. But the relevance of policy varies. The global economic crisis might have led to an increased interest in policy a…

Introduction At the Galway Film Fleadh 2012, young Irish film-maker Mark O’Connor released a ‘manifesto’ entitled: ‘Irish Cinema: A Call to Arms.’ While the idea of a manifesto seems almost quaint, a hangover from cinema history of the celluloid era, O’Connor’s short document offers an interesting perspective from which to consider developments in the Irish Film
Irish Film and Television – 2011
Introduction On March 10 2012, The Irish Times reported that Ardmore Studios, the facility which since 1958 has in one way or another symbolized the attempt to establish a film industry in Ireland, faced closure owing to a lack of activity at the studio.

Revisiting Globalisation Through the Movie and Digital Games Industries
The 1990s saw the digital games console industry adopt similar commercial strategies to the cultural industry which for 80 years has been most closely associated with the process of globalisation - the Hollywood-based movie industry. The major console players, Sony, Nintendo and more recently Microsoft, expanded on a global scale, vertically and horizontally integrating through alliances and take-overs as they sought to control platforms, content…
