The Journal (formerly styled as TheJournal.ie) is an online newspaper in Ireland. It was a mixture of original and aggregated content, before moving to entirely original content.[2] The website was founded in early 2010.[3]

Key Information

It was edited by Jennifer O'Connell from 2010 to 2011,[4] and by Susan Daly between 2011[5] and August 2019, when Sinead O'Carroll stepped into the role[6] with Daly's promotion to Managing Editor. The publication employs approximately 75 people.[3]

Content

[edit]

The Journal produces 70 original pieces of content per day.[7] The website was originally divided into four components: TheJournal.ie itself for Irish and international news and opinion; Fora for business news; The 42 (formerly TheScore) for sports news;[8] and The Daily Edge for entertainment and gossip.

The Daily Edge ceased operations on 29 March 2019[9] and Fora on 9 April 2020. Fora was wound down due to a decline in advertising revenue prompting the parent to reduce its costs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland.[10]

Noteworthy

Investigations by Noteworthy have won and been shortlisted for Irish and international awards, including a nomination for the Mary Raftery Prize for the series on planning in Kilkenny called "A bridge too far",[15] and the Justice Media Awards.[16] In 2021, Maria Delaney of Noteworthy and Michelle Hennessy of TheJournal, were awarded the Journalism Excellence Award at the Irish Red Cross Humanitarian Awards for their series "Tough Start" investigating the experiences of children from the Traveller community in the Irish education system.[17][18] Investigations have also been cited in the Seanad and Dáil on a number of occasions.[19][20][21]

The 42

[edit]

The 42 is an Irish app and sports news website, published by Journal Media.[8] It covers association football, GAA sports, rugby, athletics, boxing, MMA and other sports. The website was formerly known as TheScore.ie before changing its name to The 42 in 2014.[8] The sports site is run by editor Adrian Russell, with Niall Kelly acting as deputy editor.

is an Irish online founded in 2010 by brothers Eamonn and , entrepreneurs known for creating the property portal Daft.ie. Owned and operated by Journal Media Limited, an independent entity with significant stakes held by the Fallon brothers' investment vehicle DML Capital, the platform focuses on delivering , analysis, sports coverage via its sister site The42, and investigative reporting to a primarily domestic audience. It has grown to command the largest digital readership in Ireland, consistently ranking as the top or among the top online sources according to surveys by the Institute for the Study of . Notable features include its FactCheck unit, launched in 2016 and certified by the International Fact-Checking Network since 2017, which verifies claims in public discourse, and The Journal Investigates, formerly Noteworthy, recognized with over 20 awards including the Mary Raftery Prize for impactful . Assessments of its editorial position describe it as left-center biased, reflecting social democratic leanings in coverage, while upholding high factual accuracy through proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

History

Founding and early development

TheJournal.ie was founded in April 2010 by brothers and Eamonn Fallon, entrepreneurs who had previously co-founded the Irish property listing website Daft.ie in 1997. The brothers established Journal Media Limited (company registration number 483623) as the operating entity, with an initial focus on digital news delivery for Irish audiences amid a growing online media landscape. At launch, the operation employed a modest of five journalists and five technology staff, emphasizing cost-effective online publishing without print infrastructure. The site debuted alongside a companion sports platform initially named TheScore, which provided coverage of Irish and international sports events. Early content strategy blended original reporting on breaking news and features with aggregated material from other sources, aiming to build audience traffic through accessible, real-time updates on politics, society, and current affairs. This hybrid approach facilitated rapid scaling in a market dominated by established print outlets transitioning online, with TheScore quickly gaining traction as a dedicated sports resource. Within the first year, TheJournal.ie expanded editorial roles, appointing Jennifer Gurrin as editor in May 2011 to oversee content growth amid rising readership. The platform's emphasis on open-access —free from paywalls—drove early user engagement, positioning it as an alternative to traditional media by 2012, though financial losses of €1.14 million were reported for that year due to investments in staff and technology. Over time, the site shifted toward exclusively original content, laying groundwork for deeper investigative work and specialized verticals.

Growth phases and expansions

TheJournal.ie experienced rapid initial growth following its launch in October 2010, driven by sharing and a focus on mobile-optimized content, quickly establishing itself as a key player in Irish . By 2012, under its early parent Distilled Media, the site contributed to group-wide monthly audiences exceeding 5 million unique browsers, reflecting strong early traction amid Ireland's post-crisis digital shift. A key expansion phase began around 2015, with the rebranding and deepening of its sports vertical as The42.ie, emphasizing to differentiate from aggregated content. This was followed in March 2016 by the launch of Fora.ie, a business-focused site targeting startups and SMEs, expanding Journal Media's portfolio to include specialized verticals alongside lifestyle site DailyEdge.ie. These moves diversified content offerings and audience segments, with Journal Media employing dozens of journalists by the mid-2010s to support original reporting across platforms. Audience metrics underscored sustained growth, reaching approximately 450,000 daily users by December 2022, coinciding with a major site redesign to enhance . Reuters Institute Digital News Reports from 2017 onward consistently ranked TheJournal.ie among Ireland's top two most-read online news sources, with particular strength among under-35s; by 2024, 15% of Irish respondents accessed it three or more times weekly, positioning it as the second-most frequent digital news brand. Later phases involved consolidation and specialization, including the 2019 wind-down of DailyEdge.ie to refocus resources, the 2016 establishment of a FactCheck unit (expanded for misinformation in 2020), and the September 2024 launch of The Journal Investigates, building on prior investigative efforts via Noteworthy.ie. These developments emphasized reader-supported funding and verification standards, such as IFCN certification since 2017, amid a broader shift to combating and in-depth reporting.

Ownership and operations

Ownership structure and changes

TheJournal.ie is operated by Journal Media Limited, a founded in 2010 to publish the site alongside sister platforms such as The 42 (formerly TheScore.ie). Journal Media's ownership is controlled by brothers Eamonn Fallon and through DML Capital , in which each brother holds a 50% stake as the global ultimate owner. This structure reflects the Fallons' establishment of the company as an independent media entity, with DML Capital retaining the largest direct shareholding in Journal Media itself. Journal Media functions within the broader Distilled Media Group Limited (DMG), which manages operations for TheJournal.ie, The 42, and Noteworthy, while holding 50% stakes in classifieds platforms Daft.ie and Adverts.ie. DMG's 2022 financials showed directors' remuneration exceeding €1 million amid an operating loss of nearly €2.3 million and declining turnover, but no ownership dilution or restructuring was reported. The ownership has remained stable since inception, with no major transfers or dilutions documented through 2025. In April 2024, —publisher of the —entered discussions to acquire TheJournal.ie and The 42, potentially consolidating digital news assets, but no transaction materialized by October 2025, preserving the independent structure. This continuity underscores Journal Media's resistance to external consolidation pressures in Ireland's media landscape, where ownership concentration has increased via prior deals like Mediahuis's 2019 purchase of Independent News & Media.

Business model and funding

TheJournal.ie operates a free-access digital platform without a , with constituting approximately 88% of its revenue. This model supports core operations, including the production of articles, explainers, and specialized units such as FactCheck, though the site has acknowledged that income has proven insufficient amid market challenges. Reader contributions form a supplementary stream, solicited via one-time donations or recurring monthly pledges to maintain paywall-free access and underwrite targeted projects like investigative reporting through The Journal Investigates and enhancements to efforts. These contributions complement by enabling deeper on topics including , , and public accountability, without providing exclusive benefits beyond sustaining the site's independence since its 2010 launch. Optional paid subscriptions offer an ad-free reading experience specifically within TheJournal.ie's mobile applications, billed monthly or annually via third-party processors, while premium content on affiliated verticals such as The42 (sports) requires separate subscription access. Journal Media Limited, the entity managing these operations, recorded processed sales of €4.8 million in 2021, reflecting scale amid a reliance on digital ad markets and voluntary support rather than institutional grants or mandatory subscriptions.

Content structure

Primary news and features

TheJournal.ie's primary news coverage centers on breaking developments in Irish politics, , , and international events with an Irish relevance, delivered through real-time updates and formats including text, video, and images. This includes detailed reporting on domestic , such as statements from political figures on stability, like Fianna Fáil's reported widespread support for Micheál Martin amid no-confidence motions in October 2025. The section emphasizes timely, Ireland-centric narratives, often incorporating polls and reader comments to gauge public sentiment on unfolding stories. Features complement with longer-form investigations into , cultural shifts, and human-interest angles, frequently spotlighting Irish individuals or perspectives abroad. Examples include accounts of Irish activists' ordeals in foreign detention, portraying their Israeli experiences as involving "sadistic and petty" treatment during a incident in October 2025. Such pieces aim to provide context beyond headlines, blending personal testimonies with broader geopolitical analysis. International news within primary coverage addresses global crises affecting Ireland or its diaspora, such as weather events like the escalation of Hurricane Melissa to Category 5 status en route to in October 2025, reported alongside potential transatlantic implications. Core categories span , world affairs, sports, and societal trends, with a consistent focus on verifiable facts from official statements and eyewitness inputs to inform an engaged Irish readership.

Specialized verticals

TheJournal.ie operates several specialized verticals that extend beyond its core and general reporting, focusing on niche topics such as , , , podcasts, and . These sections allow for deeper exploration of specific interests, often featuring original , content, and audience engagement tools like newsletters. The sports vertical emphasizes Irish athletic events, particularly (GAA) competitions and soccer, with coverage of club achievements such as Dingle's victory in the and Shamrock Rovers' pursuit of the league title as of October 2025. This area prioritizes real-time updates and match , reflecting Ireland's strong sporting culture, though it occasionally draws criticism for limited international depth compared to broader outlets. Opinion pieces form a dedicated vertical for commentary on current affairs, including political campaigns and societal trends; for instance, analyses of ’s presidential bid highlighted strategic takeaways for left-leaning groups. Contributors provide interpretive insights rather than straight reporting, with topics spanning elections, policy debates, and cultural shifts, though selections may reflect editorial preferences toward progressive viewpoints without explicit balancing mandates. Lifestyle content addresses consumer trends, public surveys, and seasonal topics like Halloween decorations, integrating polls and light features to engage non-news audiences. This vertical serves as an entry point for broader readership, blending entertainment with subtle news hooks, but remains secondary to hard news in prominence. Podcasts represent an audio-focused vertical, such as "The Candidate" series examining dynamics, offering serialized discussions that complement written articles. These extend the site's reach via platforms like , with episodes drawing on staff expertise for narrative-driven content. The "Investigates" vertical handles in-depth probes, including scrutiny of election spending in the Dáil as of late 2025, emphasizing data-driven exposés over daily cycles. This area underscores the site's commitment to original journalism, though resource constraints limit frequency compared to larger publishers.

Fact-checking and investigative work

The Journal FactCheck unit, established in early 2016 ahead of the Irish general election, operates as an independent fact-checking initiative within TheJournal.ie, focusing on verifying claims related to Irish politics, public policy, and societal issues. As the sole verified Irish signatory to the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) since 2017, it adheres to the IFCN's Code of Principles, emphasizing non-partisanship, transparency in sourcing, and corrections when errors occur. The unit partners with the Ireland European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) hub and participates in Meta's Third-Party Fact-Checking program, enabling it to flag misleading content on social platforms. Operations involve reader-submitted claims via email or social media (@TJ_FactCheck), followed by a process of evidence gathering from public records, expert consultations, and reliability assessments, with verdicts published alongside linked raw data for verification. Notable efforts include the Debunking Project launched in early 2020, which contributed to the international by debunking health-related circulating in . The unit maintains a dedicated knowledge bank at factchecking.ie to enhance public , providing tools and explanations for evaluating independently of partisan influences. Compliance with the Press Council of Ireland ensures standards, though external assessments, such as those from , have rated its factual reporting as high while noting a left-center in broader Journal content selection. Funding draws from IFCN grants and Journal Media, supporting its claim of independence from commercial or ideological pressures. In parallel, The Journal's evolved from the crowdfunded Noteworthy platform launched in 2019 to the current Journal Investigates unit, introduced in 2024 to sustain in-depth reporting amid insufficient advertising revenue. Reader contributions fund these efforts, enabling focus on underreported injustices, data-driven analyses of , and amplification of marginalized voices, with a mandate to expose systemic anomalies and advocate for reform. Over its first year, the unit produced 28 major investigations, each averaging more than 30,000 views, covering topics such as the infiltration of Ireland's vaping sector by multinational firms, challenges faced by Irish women seeking abortions abroad under restrictive laws, and deficiencies in maternity services at Sligo University Hospital. These probes yielded tangible impacts, including 12 parliamentary citations in the Dáil and Seanad, prompting debates and a local council motion for a public audit of Sligo's birthing facilities. Earlier Noteworthy work, such as the award-winning "Redacted Lives" series on conditions, secured the Mary Raftery Prize in 2024 and influenced legislative scrutiny. The platform has amassed over 20 awards, including Justice Media Awards and the Prize, recognizing its role in driving policy responses on issues like wildlife exploitation on and spending patterns derived from analyzing 500+ returns. While praised for accountability, the investigative output reflects TheJournal.ie's resource constraints, prioritizing Irish-centric stories over international scope.

Editorial approach and biases

Stated editorial principles

TheJournal.ie articulates its core mission as delivering to quality, independent, and unbiased that informs Irish readers and enables informed decision-making, with an emphasis on timely, contextualized free from external influence. As an independently owned outlet, it commits to "telling the truth" through original reporting, while supporting the Press Council of Ireland and adhering to its , which mandates high professional standards including truth and accuracy, distinction between fact and comment, fairness and respect for rights, and privacy protections. In fact-checking, TheJournal.ie pledges adherence to the International Fact-Checking Network's (IFCN) Code of Principles as Ireland's sole verified signatory since 2017, requiring non-partisan reporting, transparent methodologies with linked sources and expert consultations, corrections of errors, and exclusion of team members affiliated with political or groups to ensure evidence-based, impartial outputs. For investigative work under The Journal Investigates, the stated fairness policy prioritizes over potential harm, mandating rigorous verification via primary sources like documents and interviews, avoidance of partisan language, of pre-publication responses from affected parties, declaration of conflicts by reporters, and without previewing content to external entities beyond legal review. On content funding and advertising, TheJournal.ie asserts strict separation between and commercial functions, labeling sponsored content (fully advertiser-approved), editorial partnerships (brand-funded but editorially produced without approval), and supported pieces (independent with adjacent ads), all overseen by senior editors to preserve integrity and transparency without advertiser input into decisions.

Analyses of political leanings

Media Bias/Fact Check rates TheJournal.ie as left-center biased, attributing this assessment to its social democratic editorial positions and occasional use of emotionally loaded language that favors liberal causes, such as critiques of former U.S. President and supportive framing of center-left Irish politicians like Labour Party leader Alan Kelly. For example, a 2018 opinion piece argued that Irish should exclude Trump from remarks on Irish media, reflecting a critical stance toward conservative figures. Similarly, a 2020 headline portrayed Fianna Fáil's electoral resurgence positively through Kelly's lens, aligning with social democratic narratives. Ground News, which aggregates through blind surveys and source comparisons, classifies TheJournal.ie's overall output as leaning left, based on editorial choices and framing in political coverage. This aligns with broader patterns in Irish , where a 2023 Dublin City University study found 61.5% of journalists self-identifying as left-of-center, potentially influencing story selection and emphasis on issues like progressive social policies over . However, such institutional leanings do not preclude factual accuracy, as TheJournal.ie's reporting scores high for sourcing and verification, with no failed fact checks recorded in the past five years and IFCN certification for its dedicated unit. Perceptions of bias often arise from coverage disparities, such as relatively favorable treatment of left-leaning opposition figures like Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns compared to governing center-right parties, though these remain subjective and lack comprehensive empirical quantification beyond rater assessments. Independent bias evaluations prioritize observable patterns in editorial content over self-reported neutrality, underscoring how outlets like TheJournal.ie, while factually reliable, exhibit a consistent tilt toward social democratic viewpoints in an Irish media landscape skewed leftward by journalist demographics.

Criticisms and controversies

TheJournal.ie has been rated as left-center biased by , attributing this assessment to its promotion of social democratic editorial positions on issues such as and social welfare. Critics, including Irish independent media outlet Gript, argue that this bias manifests in selective coverage favoring progressive narratives, such as during the 2018 where the outlet allegedly altered a fact-check rating on Down Syndrome abortions from "Mostly True" to "False" without transparent disclosure, potentially influencing public debate. The outlet's unit, established in 2016 and verified by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), has drawn significant controversy over its role as Ireland's sole partner in Meta's third-party program. In testimony before the Joint Committee on , Community and in December 2023, Meta's Head of in Ireland, Dualta Ó Broin, confirmed that the company applied warning labels to posts rated false by TheJournal.ie, notifying users and reducing visibility for repeat offenders, affecting 1.1 million pieces of Irish content in the first half of 2023 alone. Gript has criticized this arrangement as enabling suppression of dissenting views, citing instances where TheJournal.ie's ratings deemed legitimate but controversial stories—such as those challenging narratives—as false, thereby throttling their algorithmic distribution. Further scrutiny of the FactCheck unit's IFCN certification process revealed that it was approved by professor Margot Susca, whose public statements include strong anti-Trump partisanship and support for , prompting accusations of ideological vetting over neutrality. Gript has documented additional lapses, such as conflating unverified allegations with established facts in recent articles and failing to adhere to the outlet's own standards for distinguishing evidence from opinion, as highlighted in a September 2020 analysis. These issues have fueled broader concerns about the unit's impartiality, particularly given TheJournal.ie's mainstream positioning amid systemic left-leaning tendencies in Irish media institutions.

Recognition and impact

Awards and accolades

Journal Media, the parent company of TheJournal.ie, has garnered multiple accolades for its reporting, particularly in legal, investigative, and humanitarian journalism. The Justice Media Awards, presented annually by the Law Society of since 1968 to honor excellence in coverage of legal and justice-related topics, have been a frequent point of recognition; in 2022, Journal Media secured four wins across categories including best news feature and . In 2024, it claimed two top prizes—one for best news feature on a legal topic and another for innovation in legal journalism—along with two merits. By 2025, the outlet received seven merits spanning six categories at the same awards, highlighting sustained output in legal reporting. In December 2023, Journal Media earned two Headline Awards from the mental health advocacy group Aware, commending investigative pieces on services and policy failures; one award went to a feature on youth wait times, while the other recognized a series on . TheJournal.ie's investigative arm has also been honored internationally; in 2023, its "Hands on Deck" series on migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean won Humanitarian Journalists of the Year from the European Press Prize, credited to reporters Maria Delaney, Geela Garcia, and Louise Lawless for on-the-ground documentation of sea and policy critiques. Domestically, The Journal Investigates received the 2021 Excellence from the same European Press Prize for broader investigative impact, and in 2020, its on the 1981 Stardust nightclub fire earned the Mary Raftery Prize for journalism from Justice Media . These awards underscore targeted successes in accountability-driven reporting rather than broad-site honors.

Investigative series, such as analyses of election expenses and crises, further amplify its role in accountability , drawing from extensive scrutiny to inform national conversations.
