Comments on: The Media Challenge For Dublin’s Politicians http://www.pkellypr.com/blog/2008/1105/the-media-challenge-for-dublins-politicians/ Irish Communications Consultant - Be Noticed Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:38:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Damien http://www.pkellypr.com/blog/2008/1105/the-media-challenge-for-dublins-politicians/#comment-567092 Damien Wed, 05 Nov 2008 10:58:11 +0000 http://www.pkellypr.com/blog/?p=860#comment-567092 It's interesting that you mention Donegal there - I think we've got a very competitive media market here, and an intense interest in local issues. As a local rep, I can say that the reach of Highland is phenomenal. A minor contribution to the morning talk show (Shaun Doherty) will get a bigger reaction that being on George Hook, Last Word or RTE's Drive Time. The same is true with papers; we have six papers published each week targetting Letterkenny (Monday, Tuesday, 3x Thursday and Sunday) which means lots of column inches to fill. I can only imagine the situation for someone in Dublin trying to get coverage. The papers are all competing hard, but most seem to be maintaining a decent level of interest.
