Medium-Sized Cow Up a Tree, Fairly Big Stink

By Ronan | Published: November 1, 2011

A mad busy week for the regional newspapers, and as it was Local Newspaper Week one got the opinion that the participating newspapers were really making an effort to impress readers old and (hopefully) new. The 30 papers that did were packed to the gills with news and, sadly, Halloween cliche after Halloween cliche. I […]

Medium-Sized Court Case, Fairly Big Story

With Local Newspaper Week being celebrated in all 32 counties of Ireland this week, my ‘Medium-Sized Town, Fairly Big Story’ slot on RTE 2FM’s Breakfast With Hector featured a story which demonstrates first hand the power of a local newspaper.

By Ronan | Published: September 20, 2011

Medium-Sized Town, Fairly Big Story — July 4

By Ronan | Published: July 5, 2011

No whoo-dee-doo American nonsense to celebrate the 4^th of July — just plain old Irish commonsense and nonsense from the regional newspapers to mark the first Medium-Sized Town, Fairly Big Story of July on RTE 2 FM’s Breakfast with Hector. We could have filled about an hour of radio with stories from the country’s regional newspapers this […]
