Shared Histories: Media Connections Between Britain and Ireland

Dublin, 6–7th July 2016

Venue: The National Library of Ireland.

The relationship between Ireland and Great Britain has a long and
complex history. One key dimension has been the connections and
interactions between the various media of communication – print and
electronic – which have mediated this relationship. This conference
seeks to address this important, but relatively neglected, topic at a
timely moment in the history of Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales
drawing on the work of historians with specialisms that span the
period from the late 17th to the 20th century.

Keynote Speaker: Professor John Horgan, Dublin City University.

Speakers include: Eddie Brennan, Roseanna Doughty, Finola
Doyle-O’Neill, Christopher Doughan, Portia Ellis-Woods, Colum Kenny,
Damen Keane, Adrian Kirwan, Sam Manning, Jason McElligott, Anthony
McNicholas James O’Donnell, Elspeth Payne, Martyn Powell, Kevin
Rafter, Abigail Riely, Yann Ryan, Salvatore Scifo, Mark Turner and
Anne Wilson

Panel themes: Print Histories and Methodologies; Anglo Irish News
Business; Censorship and Control; Television; Radio; Print Cultures
and Irish Identity; Ireland in the British Media.

The conference is jointly organised by the School of Communications,
Dublin City University, the Aberystwyth University Centre for Media
History, the Newspaper & Periodical History Forum of Ireland, and the
