Entrepreneurial journalism has emerged as a ‘hot topic’ for 21st century journalism, not just in the industry itself, but also in the academic community. This timely book seeks to make sense of the dramatic transformation of journalism, with a specific focus on what entrepreneurialism means for the world of journalism. The volume brings together leading international scholars to examine critical topics including the ethics underpinning new funding models such as crowdfunding; best practices in entrepreneurial journalism education; the implications of the emergence of a start-up culture; and differing interpretations of what is understood by the term ‘entrepreneurialism’ in the field of journalism. The collection analyses and discusses the future of journalism from the perspective of entrepreneurial culture drawing on relevant case studies from the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Spain, Greece, Denmark, Canada, and the United States. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Practice.

They reported wars, outraged monarchs and promoted the case for their country’s freedom. The pages of Irish Journalism Before Independence: More a Disease than a Profession are filled with the remarkable stories of reporters, proprietors and propagandists. Sixteen leading writers celebrate the emergence of Irish Journalism in this original and engaging volume. These leading media academics, historians and scholars join in what is a festschrift travelling the long Irish nineteenth century to 1922. Their stories, narratives and histories illustrate the emergence of Irish journalism chronicling the evolution and development of the profession, and the various challenges confronted by the first generation of modern journalists.The profession’s past is framed by reference to its practitioners and their practice. Readers are treated to studies of foreign correspondents, editorial writers, provincial newspaper owners, sports journalists and the challenges of minority language journalism. The volume goes beyond Ireland to explore the work of Irish journalists abroad and shows how the great political debates about Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom served as a backdrop to newspaper publication in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.In his preface Professor James Curran concludes that the volume “advances by leaps and bounds the history of the Irish press”.The collection makes valuable and important contribution to our knowledge of Irish journalism - and like all good reportage it offers its readers a very good read.

Magill was the magazine that held a mirror up to Ireland at its most turbulent. In an era marked by mass unemployment, emigration, ferocious battles over abortion and divorce, and the political duels of Charles Haughey and Garret FitzGerald, Magill chronicled a country on the brink of profound change.Kevin Rafter uncovers the drama behind the magazine’s creation and survival - from its 1977 launch through its helter‑skelter editorial regimes under Vincent Browne, Colm Tóibín, Fintan O’Toole, Brian Trench and John Waters. Drawing on extensive interviews and rich archival material, he reveals how Magill became the publication that, as the Sunday Times claimed, dragged Irish journalism out of 'comfortable, unquestioning dullness', and which the Guardian said wielded political influence unmatched in Britain or Europe.This is not just the story of a magazine - it’s the story of a society in upheaval. To revisit Magill is to witness the unravelling of conservative Catholic Ireland and the rise of a more open, liberal, and diverse nation.
