From war zones to world cities, Irish journalists abroad have exposed injustice, challenged stereotypes, and reshaped ideas of Irish identity. Frontlines explores two centuries of reporting that informed, provoked and changed lives and perspectives.
Across the world, Irish journalists have worked to reveal human rights abuses and hold the powerful to account. Their reporting on conflict and hardship has shaped public opinion and provided an impetus for change. In the major centres of Irish settlement, they have challenged negative stereotypes and helped immigrants adapt to their adopted homelands. And they have, in some cases, entirely refashioned what it means to be Irish, crafting new identities in London, Paris and Buenos Aires.
EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is pleased to present Frontlines, Irish Journalists Abroad, a temporary exhibition exploring two centuries of Irish journalistic achievement.
