Press Review in 'The Revolution Papers'

I recently wrote a press review for 'The Revolution Papers' of 20 December 2016. I looked at two very different newspapers from the dying days of the Irish Civil War - the long-established and Pro-Treaty newspaper, Freeman's Journal and the recently established and vehemently Anti-Treaty propaganda sheet, Eire.

Front cover of 'The Revolution Papers', No. 51.

The Civil War began in June 1922 and for nearly 11 months, men and women who were once the best of friends and had once fought side by side during the War of Independence, were pitted against each other. Naturally, each side was convinced that they were right. It was very interesting to compare the two newspapers and see how they could have such widely differing opinions on the same issues.
