This site is focused on providing visitors with an brief but cursory view of Irish pop culture, as well as headline and travel news. Though some of the information may be too trivial but simply let students browse ad nauseum, this would be a good site for teachers to use when searching for information about Irish culture & news.

During a lesson on the impact of the media and bias, have students select this newspaper and another to study from another country for such a thing. Using a venn digram, have students compare the audiences of both papers, as well as framing issues, bias, coverage, and popularity by numbers. Use an online tool such as the 2 and 3 Circle Interactive Venn Diagrams, reviewed here.This would be a great in class activity before a class discussion of the impact newspapers can have, before focusing on globalization and the similarities and differences between beliefs and politics in other countries.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
