Irish Examiner view: Journalism matters now more than ever

Marian Finucane remembered, one year on

The first anniversary of broadcaster Marian Finucane’s death on January 2 will be followed two days later by a documentary on RTÉ remembering the journalist’s life and work.

It is an ideal time to recall one of Ireland’s most gifted broadcasters, not least because her empathy, professionalism, and first-rate journalism are missed by so many, though Brendan O’Connor is proving a worthy successor on her weekend radio show.
