Frontlines: Irish Journalists Abroad Exhibition

Visitors will encounter remarkable objects and stories that reveal the responsibilities of journalism across the globe.

Curator Dr Catherine Healy says, "Across the world, Irish journalists have worked to reveal human rights abuses and hold the powerful to account. Their reporting on conflict, famine, and hardship has shaped public opinion and provided an impetus for change. They have chronicled the lives of people on the margins and brought home the realities of inequality. 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 of Ireland.”
