News Fit to Print: Belfast’s Daily Newspapers

Bill Rolston

Chapter 7 in The Media and Northern Ireland, 1991, pp 152-186 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Belfast boasts reputedly the oldest extant English-language newspaper in the world, the News Letter. In addition, visitors to Belfast frequently remark on the stark ideological and political differences between this paper today and its closest rival, the Irish News. Yet, despite these two facts, it is remarkable that very little analysis of Belfast’s daily newspapers has been undertaken. Apart from some historical pamphlets and a few journalistic pieces, there are only three items of note.
