How does news differ from country to country? What is the process of publishing like for the staff of Irish newspapers, television and radio? Students in Professor Rodney Huey’s International Mass Media & Global Mass Communications class got the chance to find out all this and more on a recent field lab to the offices of The Irish Times, a national newspaper, and RTE, national radio and television. Follow along with their exciting day in this fun photo essay.
Launched in 1859, The Irish Times is the second largest and arguably the most prestigious newspaper in all of Ireland. It is considered Ireland’s newspaper of record. Receiving tours of the paper is rare, but the students of Professor Rodney Huey’s Global Media course were fortunate to receive these high honors.
Raidio Teilifis Eireann (Radio, Television of Ireland) is one of Ireland’s premier broadcasting companies. Half private, half public (they receive 50% of their funds from the taxpayer), RTE has been in the radio business since 1926 and TV since 1961.
