Former Irish Daily Star editor appointed Adjunct Professor of Journalism at UL

University of Limerick has appointed former editor and Managing Director of The Irish Daily Star, Ger Colleran as Adjunct Professor of Journalism.

Mr Colleran will give master classes to UL’s Journalism and New Media students as part of his new role.

“The one thing young student journalists need to set aside is the cloud of fear that has hit the media industry over the past 10-15 years because of the massive disruption caused by digital. Technology is merely a delivery vehicle; the basic human demand for stories doesn’t change at all,” he said.
