New First Edition. Newspapers played a key role in shaping and reflecting public opinion during the Irish Revolution, 1910-23. County Cork was home to Skibbereen’s Southern Star and Skibbereen Eagle, and Cork city institutions the Cork Examiner and Cork Constitution along with the Cork Free Press. These papers were joined by a number of fascinating but short-lived radical papers like Terence MacSwiney’s Fianna Fáil. This book highlights how editors and journalists did not sit on the sidelines during the conflict but were centrally involved and experienced very real danger. Newspaper owners and employees were threatened, attacked and shot. Collector’s Item.
