The theme of the conference was 'Journalists in History: Blackguards, Muckrakers and Crusaders'. Speakers came from Ireland, the UK and North America and delivered papers on a marvelously wide range of journalists and publications. From the provincial and national presses of Ireland to the minority press of black America and lots more besides, the conference provided unparalleled insights into journalists and journalism history.
I delivered a paper on the French journalist Henri Béraud (1885-1958) who reported from Ireland in the 1920s, and was sentenced to death at the liberation of France for the polemics he wrote during World War 2.
