Closure of local Irish newspapers set to ‘accelerate’ after loss of 17 titles since 2008 via IrishTimesBiz
Circulation for local paid-for weekly newspapers has fallen more than 50 per cent since 2010 and was down 7 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2022, while advertising is down by an average of 14 per cent for local titles compared to pre-Covid levels, Mr Hughes said.
But Séamus Dooley, Irish secretary of the National Union of Journalists , said journalism in Ireland was “in crisis” as a result of precarious employment, low pay and the concentration of media ownership.The need is well above the government's policy targets and we're obsessed with married people who are just about to have children, according to the author of he latest Daft.ie report, economist Ronan Lyons.
Mr Dooley welcomed the 0 per cent VAT rate for newspapers introduced in Budget 2023, but said the NUJ was concerned that the zero rate would not apply to “news periodicals” as it does to print and digital newspapers.
