\n Daily Irish Mail v 4<\/a>

The Raw Notes on this paper are now available on the wiki<\/a>. This represents the full paper, as opposed to the Irish Times graph below, which only covers the Home News pages for Friday.<\/p>\n

You’ll see that the graph on the right appears to have a considerable slice of actual journalism shown. Don’t forget that this makes no distinction between good and bad journalism. <\/p>\n

The numbers here are flattered by the reliance of the Mail on stories of the ‘Isn’t it awful’ school, all of which I have included. And they are awful, and real stories. But the relish that they bring to their coverage is distasteful. If there’s a mother of a dead child to be milked for tragedy, or a mourning community to be paraded, the Mail are fearlessly to the fore. In addition I have classed Opinion columns as journalism for the purposes of this graph. <\/p>\n

Journalism of actual originality and value is rather more scarce. In this edition, I would say there were two stories in news and then some on gardening at the back. <\/p>\n

Note also that large red wedge, missing entirely from the Irish Times’ pie. This represents a number of articles which were nothing more than adverts for one commercial product or service or another.
\n
\nUPDATE:<\/strong> I’ve rebaked the pie chart. Opinion now is broken out from journalism. I also broke out reprints of stories that appeared elsewhere. If you’d like to see the original pie chart referred to above, you can go to here<\/a>
