The Irish Times

Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use Hiberno-English Template:Infobox newspaper The Irish Times is an Irish daily broadsheet newspaper and online digital publication. It was launched on 29 March 1859. The editor is Ruadhán Mac Cormaic.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> It is published every day except Sundays.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The Irish Times is Ireland's leading newspaper.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> It is considered a newspaper of record for Ireland.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Though formed as a Protestant Irish nationalist paper, within two decades and under new owners, it became a supporter of unionism in Ireland.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

In the 21st century, it presents itself politically as "liberal and progressive", as well as being centre-right on economic issues.<ref name=TerranceBrown>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>McCabe, Conor, Sins of the Father: Tracing the Decisions That Shaped the Irish Economy (Dublin, 2011), p. 179.</ref> The editorship of the newspaper from 1859 until 1986 was controlled by the Anglo-Irish Protestant minority, only gaining its first nominal Irish Catholic editor 127 years into its existence.

The paper's notable columnists have included writer and arts commentator Fintan O'Toole and satirist Miriam Lord. The late Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald was once a columnist. Michael O'Regan was the Leinster House correspondent for more than 30 years. Senior international figures, including Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, have written for its op-ed page.

Its most prominent columns have included the political column Backbencher, by John Healy; Drapier (an anonymous piece produced weekly by a politician, giving the 'insider' view of politics); Rite and Reason (a weekly religious column, edited by Patsy McGarry, the religious affairs editor); and the long-running An Irishman's Diary. An Irishman's Diary was written by Patrick Campbell in the forties (under the pseudonym "Quidnunc"); by Seamus Kelly from 1949 to 1979 (also writing as "Quidnunc"); and in the early 2000s by Kevin Myers. After Myers' move to the rival Irish Independent, An Irishman's Diary has usually been the work of Frank McNally. On the sports pages, Philip Reid is the paper's golf correspondent.

One of its most popular columns was the biting and humorous Cruiskeen Lawn satire column written, originally in Irish, later in English, by Myles na gCopaleen, the pen name of Brian O'Nolan (Brian Ó Nualláin) who also wrote books using the name Flann O'Brien. Cruiskeen Lawn is an anglicised spelling of the Irish words crúiscín lán, meaning "little full jug". Cruiskeen Lawn made its debut in October 1940, and appeared with varying regularity until O'Nolan's death in 1966.

History

Origins in 19th century

A newspaper entitled The Irish Times was founded in 1823, but this closed in 1825. The title was revived decades later by Lawrence E. Knox, (later known as Major Lawrence Knox), a 22-year-old army officer. Initially he published thrice-weekly publication but soon shifted to a daily newspaper; the first edition was published on 29 March 1859. He founded it as a moderate Protestant newspaper, reflecting his politics. Knox envisaged it as a "new conservative daily".<ref>Template:Cite book. Reproduced on the Irish Times website. Retrieved 8 May 2019.</ref> Its headquarters were at 4 Lower Abbey Street in Dublin. Its main competitor in its early days was the Dublin Daily Express.Template:Cn

After Knox's death in 1873, the paper was sold to the widow of Sir John Arnott, a Member of Parliament (MP), a former Lord Mayor of Cork, and owner of Arnotts, one of Dublin's major department stores.

The sale, for £35,000, led to two major changes. Arnott shifted the headquarters to 31 Westmoreland Street; the newspaper operated from this area until 2005. Its politics shifted dramatically, and it became predominantly Unionist in outlook. It was closely associated with the Irish Unionist Alliance. The paper, along with the Irish Independent and various regional papers, called for the execution of the leaders of the failed 1916 Easter Rising.<ref name=easter_rising>Template:Cite news</ref>

20th century

Though the paper became a publicly-listed company in 1900, the Arnott family continued to hold a majority shareholding until the 1960s (even after the family lost control, the great-grandson of the original purchaser was the paper's London editor). The last member of the Arnott family to sit on the paper's board was Sir Lauriston Arnott, who died in 1958.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>Template:Cn

During the 1930s, the editor was R. M. Smyllie.<ref name= horgan2001>Template:Cite book</ref> The longest-serving editor of The Irish Times was Douglas Gageby.<ref name=mallon2003/>

In 1974, ownership was transferred to a non-charitable<ref name="The Irish Times Trust">Template:Cite news</ref> trust, The Irish Times Trust. The former owner, Major Thomas McDowell, was made "president for life" of the trust that runs the paper; he was paid a large dividend.<ref name="Collins">Template:Cite news</ref>

The paper established its first bureau in Asia when foreign correspondent Conor O'Clery moved to Beijing, China, in 1996.<ref>China the Emerging Power: Prospects for Sino-Irish Relations, Conor O'Clery lecture, Centre for Asian Studies, University College Dublin, 2000. "...I first arrived [in Beijing] to establish the first Irish Times bureau in Asia in 1996."</ref>

21st century

The Irish Times suffered considerable financial difficulty in 2002 when a drop in advertising revenue coincided with a decision by the company to invest its reserves in the building of a new printing plant. None of the journalists was laid off, but many took a voluntary redundancy package when the paper was greatly restructured.

Some foreign bureaus were closed and it stopped publishing "colour" pages devoted to Irish regions, with regional coverage merged with news. The paper's problems stemmed partly from internal strife, which led to McDowells's daughter, Karen Erwin, not being made chief executive.<ref name="mcdowell-tax-liability"/> The reorganisation had the desired effect; after posting losses of almost €3 million in 2002, the paper returned to profit in 2003.Template:Cn

In May 2005, the paper launched a new international edition,Template:Cn which was available in London and southeast England at the same time as other daily newspapers (previously, copies of the Irish edition were flown from Dublin to major cities in Britain on passenger flights, arriving around lunchtime). It was printed at the Newsfax plant in Hackney, and uses the Financial Times distribution network.Template:Cn

In 2008 the Central Bank of Ireland fined The Irish Times after its management admitted breaking market abuse rules.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2009, the Supreme Court ordered the paper to pay €600,000 in costs, despite it having won its case in support of protecting journalistic sources. The court said the paper's destruction of evidence was "reprehensible conduct".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

When the Irish government signed the Companies Act 2014, the Trust registered the overall Irish Times Group as a designated activity company, The Irish Times Designated Activity Company (The Irish Times DAC).<ref>Template:Cite report</ref>

In December 2017, The Irish Times reportedly had reached an agreement to purchase the newspaper, radio and website interests of Landmark Media Investments, which include the Irish Examiner. Initially subject to regulatory approval,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> the sale was completed in July 2018.<ref name="irishexaminer.com">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In September 2018, The Irish Times started a voluntary redundancy scheme. This followed the Landmark Media Investments acquisition.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Diversification

The company has diversified from its original Irish Times title as a source of revenue. Irish Times Limited has taken a majority share for €5m in the Gazette Group Newspapers, a group publishing three local newspapers in West Dublin, and has acquired a property website, MyHome.ie, the second-largest<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> property internet website in Ireland, for €50m, seen as insurance against the loss of revenue from traditional classified property advertising.<ref name="ret">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In June 2009, journalists called on the board and trust to review "the flawed investment and diversification strategy of the company" and passed a motion saying that "ongoing investment in loss-making projects poses a serious threat to employment" at the newspaper.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Four months later, the company announced a loss of €37 million and that 90 staff would be made redundant.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The director, Maeve Donovan, who instigated the "investment and diversification" strategy, subsequently retired. She dismissed suggestions that she would receive a significant "golden handshake", saying that her package would be "nothing out of the ordinary at all". She was given a €1m "ex-gratia" payment by the newspaper "relating to a commutation of pension rights agreed with her".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

The managing director said in 2009 that mobile phone applications would be a key investment for newspapers and The Irish Times nowTemplate:When has an application for the iPhone and Android smartphones.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In June 2010, Gazette Group Newspapers' managing director claimed the company's affairs were being conducted oppressively by its majority shareholder, the Irish Times.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On 2 May 2024, it was announced that the Irish Times Group had acquired obituary business RIP.ie.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Political stances and controversial stories

The editor during the 1930s, R. M. Smyllie, had strong anti-fascist views, and angered the Irish Catholic hierarchy by opposing General Franco during the Spanish Civil War. During World War II, The Irish Times, like other national newspapers, had problems with Irish Government censorship. The Times was largely pro-Allies and was opposed to the Éamon de Valera government policy of neutrality.<ref name=horgan2001/>

In 1969, the longest-serving editor of The Irish Times, Douglas Gageby, was allegedly called a "white nigger" by company chairman Thomas Bleakley McDowell, because of the newspaper's coverage of Northern Ireland at the outset of the Troubles, which was supportive of Irish nationalism.<ref name=mallon2003>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

John Waters, a columnist who spoke out about the perceived vast salaries of the editor, managing director and deputy editor, was sacked and re-hired a week later, in November 2003.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Former editor Geraldine Kennedy was paid more than the editor of the UK's top non-tabloid newspaper The Daily Telegraph, which has a circulation of about nine times that of The Irish Times. Later, columnist Fintan O'Toole told the Sunday Independent: "We as a paper are not shy of preaching about corporate pay and fat cats but with this there is a sense of excess. Some of the sums mentioned are disturbing. This is not an attack on Ms Kennedy, it is an attack on the executive level of pay. There is double-standard of seeking more job cuts while paying these vast salaries.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 23 December 2004, The Irish Times ran a front-page story on the Provisional IRA's denial of involvement in the Northern Bank robbery, one of Europe's largest ever, and on the same day refused to print a column by Kevin Myers which said that the Provisional IRA was responsible.<ref name=snooze>Template:Cite news</ref> Myers was reported to be shocked by the spiking of his column.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Some two weeks later, the paper printed a report that there might, after all, be a "nationalist" connection.<ref name=snooze/> Myers later left the paper in May 2006.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

The Irish Times tended to support the 2007 Lisbon Treaty, which adjusted the operation of the European Union. However, opposing views were also printed, including articles by Declan Ganley of Libertas Ireland, and other anti-Lisbon campaigners.Template:Cn

On 31 July 2010, The Irish Times published an article titled "The fighting Irish" about Irish nationals who enlisted in the British Armed Forces. The article featured interviews with members of the Royal Irish Regiment and the Irish Guards.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> It was subsequently criticised by current affairs magazine The Phoenix, which argued that the article romanticised the War in Afghanistan and served as little more than an indirect advertisement for the British military. The Phoenix accused the editor of The Irish Times, Geraldine Kennedy, of violating the Irish Defence Act which prohibits all forms of military recruitment advertising on the behalf of foreign militaries.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 9 September 2011, the paper published a pseudonymous article by Kate Fitzgerald.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Unknown to the paper, she had taken her life on 22 August 2011. The revelation sparked a nationwide debate on suicide with her parents appearing on television to discuss suicide and depression.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The article criticised the reaction to her illness by her employer, The Communications Clinic, although it was only after she was identified as the author that her employer became known. The article was later removed from the paper's website,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> causing controversy online. The editor later told her parents that sections of her article were factually incorrect, but could not say which ones.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Kate's parents complained to the Office of the Press Ombudsman about an apology made to The Communications Clinic, their complaint was upheld.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In September 2019, the paper reprinted an article from the New York Times by William Broad. The article claimed that "the blossoming anxiety over professed health risks of 5G [fifth generation wireless technology] 'can be traced to a single scientist and a single chartTemplate:'". A complaint to the Office of the Press Ombudsman of the Press Council of Ireland was filed by Professor Tom Butler of the University College Cork. The Press Council Ombudsman upheld Butler's complaint, ruling that "The Irish Times breached Principle 1 (Truth and Accuracy) of the Code of Practice of the Press Council of Ireland".<ref name=ombudruling20>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name=presscouncil2020>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Governance Template:Anchor

In 1974, ownership was transferred to a non-charitable<ref name="The Irish Times Trust"/> trust, The Irish Times Trust. The former owner, Major Thomas McDowell, was made "president for life" of the trust which runs the paper and was paid a large dividend.<ref name="Collins"/> However several years later the articles of the Trust were adjusted, giving Major McDowell 10 preference shares and one more vote than the combined votes of all the other directors should any move be made to remove him.<ref name="mcdowell-tax-liability">Template:Cite news</ref> McDowell died in 2009.Template:Cn The Trust is regulated by a legal document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and controlled by a body of people (the Governors) under company law. It is not a charity and does not have charitable status. It has no beneficial shareholders and it cannot pay dividends. Any profits made by The Irish Times cannot be distributed to the Trust but must be used to strengthen the newspaper, directly or indirectly. The Trust is composed of a maximum of 11 Governors. The Trust appoints Governors who are required to be "representative broadly of the community throughout the whole of Ireland".

As of March 2023, John Hegarty is the chair of the Trust, and the governors are Edmond Harty, Maeve Carton, Catherine Day, Bernard Harbor, David Sterling, Fiach Mac Conghail and Marguerite Sayers. They are predominantly from an Irish public sector background.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2015, The Irish Times Trust Limited joined as a member organisation of the European Press Prize.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The Irish Times Clock, originally mounted on the D'Olier Street building, moved with the newspaper to the Tara Street offices in 2006.

In 1895, the paper moved from its original offices on Middle Abbey Street to D'Olier Street in the centre of Dublin. "D'Olier Street" became a metonym of The Irish Times which in turn was personified as "The Old Lady of D'Olier Street". In October 2006, the paper relocated to a new building on nearby Tara Street.<ref>Alison Healy, "Iconic Irish Times clock back where it belongs", Irish Times, September 27, 2008</ref>

Digital

In 1994, The Irish Times established a web presence on IEunet.ie, which moved to the address Irish-times.ie in 1995; it was the first newspaper in Ireland and one of the first 30 newspapers in the world to establish an online presence. The company acquired the domain name ireland.com in 1997, and from 1999 to 2008, used it to publish its online edition. This was freely available at first but charges and a registration fee were introduced in 2002 for access to most of the content. A number of blogs were added in April 2007, written by Jim Carroll, Shane Hegarty, and Conor Pope. On 30 June 2008, the company relaunched ireland.com as a separate lifestyle portal and the online edition of the newspaper was now published at irishtimes.com. Access to news on the new domain name was supplied free of charge,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> but a subscription was charged to view its archives.

On 15 October 2012 John O'Shea, Head of Online, The Irish Times, announced that the ireland.com domain name had been sold to Tourism Ireland, and that the associated ireland.com email service would end on 7 November 2012.<ref name=DomainSale>Template:Cite news</ref> The domain name was sold for €495,000.<ref name=DomainSale/> The ending of the email service affected about 15,000 subscribers.<ref name="fd">Template:Cite news</ref>
