Two of Ireland’s strongest media entities come together

Current Landmark Media Investments shareholder Ted Crosbie pointed out, in recent years, the Irish Examiner has survived “the Famine, World War 1, the War of Independence, the Civil War, the Great Depression of 1930, de Valera’s Economic War of the mid-30s, World War II and several recessions”.

The last of those recessions came at one of the worst possible times for the traditional newspaper industry as it was accompanied by declining circulation figures and the emergence of new technology.

Yesterday’s announcement marks the coming together of two of the country’s strongest media entities to ensure the Irish Examiner will continue to provide strong, independent news coverage for many years to come.
