Sinn Fein and the Media in Northern Ireland

This article is an empirical study about Sinn Fein and how the party perceives the role of the news media in relation to its political goals and aspirations within the Northern Ireland peace process. Drawing from interviews carried out with a number of Sinn Fein representatives, it brings to light the organisational priorities of the party when dealing with the news media and provides insights into the various considerations which come into play when trying to shape the news agenda. Importantly, this work offers an original and timely exposition of Sinn Fein’s approach to media strategy and indicates how the party, one of the leading protagonists in the peace process, tries to use the news to develop positions and apply pressures in order to try and shape the communication of policy in Northern Ireland
