Kevin O’Sullivan. New editor of the Irish Times.
Among the early graduates of the Dublin City University journalism course, 1983. Which makes him the first commoner to edit the paper since Gageby the Younger in the 1500s.
At DCU Kevin vividly recalls being the target of classroom indifference. Sometimes he can still hear the sound of girls openly laughing at his typos.
At a newsroom speech this afternoon, he stood up to desk height and said in a crazed manner:
“Well, who’s laughing now?
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Yeah. That’s right. Kevin.
Hahahahahahaha.”
His plans for the IT include making the paper “more boxy”.
