The Irish Times has delivered top quality news, opinion and analysis since it was first published in 1859. As media technologies evolve, so do their methods of storytelling and delivery. The Irish Times continues the transition from print to multi-platform publication, while upholding the journalistic principles that earned it the reputation as Ireland’s paper of reference.
The Irish Times upholds the following principles:
- The support of constitutional democracy expressed through governments freely elected;
- The progressive achievement of social justice between people and the discouragement of discrimination of all kinds;
- The promotion of a friendly society where the quality of life is enriched by the standards of its education, its art, its culture and its recreational facilities, and where the quality of spirit is instinct with Christian values, but free from all religious bias and discrimination;
- The promotion of peace and tolerance and opposition to all forms of violence and hatred, so that each man may live in harmony with his neighbour, considerate for his cultural, material and spiritual needs;
- The promotion of understanding of other nations and peoples and a sympathetic concern for their wellbeing;
- In pursuance of the foregoing and to enable readers of The Irish Times to reach informed and independent judgements and to contribute more effectively to the life of the community, the following principles govern the publication of The Irish Times: news shall be as accurate and as comprehensive as is practicable and be presented fairly; comment and opinion shall be informed and responsible, and shall be identifiable from fact; and special consideration shall be given to the reasonable representation of minority interests and divergent views.
