This article examines and analyses how Northern Ireland's daily press reported the war in Iraq in 2003. Although much of the coverage relied heavily on news agency copy, the newspapers seized every opportunity to connect their readers to the conflict using local inflections and angles on the story: on occasion these efforts to “localise” the story were strained and at other times bizarre. The authors argue that such coverage diminishes the ability of regional media to provide a distinctive perspective on international news, especially in the era of regional devolution and European integration
