Irish Times

The Irish Times is a leading daily broadsheet newspaper and digital publication in Ireland, founded on March 29, 1859. Originally established as a moderate Protestant newspaper, it has evolved into a liberal, centre-left publication known as Ireland's 'paper of record.' The newspaper has a rich history, transitioning from a thrice-weekly publication to a daily format and reflecting a more independent perspective over time. The Irish Times offers a wide range of content, including national and international news, sports, and business updates. It publishes various supplements throughout the week, covering topics such as health, family, and culture. The Saturday edition features additional sections like Weekend analysis and The Ticket, focusing on arts and culture. The publication has embraced digital platforms since launching its website in 1994, providing online and audio content to its readers. The Irish Times is recognized for its commitment to editorial independence and integrity, operating under The Irish Times Trust.
