Summary
In the Conclusion, the authors bring together the main strands in this volume, arguing that Irish political journalism has maintained a code of critical impartiality in the face of the unpopularity of their profession, profound economic, political, and social change, as well as an ongoing revolution in the technology and business model underlying the industry. Overall, the findings demonstrate that despite all these changes over the past half-century Irish election coverage has been remarkably resilient.
