This Sunday at 2.30pm.
At the Beatyard Festival in Dún Laoghaire Harbour.
A This is Banter discussion, entitled: Better together: are Irish publications ignoring their readers? will be presented by Dublin Inquirer.
This is Banter writes:
Publications are finding new ways to use technologies to work with their readers — through collaborative projects, by asking them what they want journalists to cover, by realising that they can be allies in story-telling.

A discussion with award-winning investigative journalist Gemma O’Doherty, Dublin Inquirer managing editor Lois Kapila, DCU School of Communications PhD researcher and Institute for Future Media and Journalism member Niamh Kirk and Banter producer and Irish Times writer Jim Carroll.

It’s quite the predicament and I’m not sure which I would pick. Will it comes down to stars – a three-star heifer versus a four-star cruise?
MOO You decide.
In a morbidly brilliant stroke of marketing chutzpah, the drug gangs of Rio de Janerio have embraced the spirit of corporate branding and illegal doping that defines the modern Olympic games.
One of 93 baggies of cocaine seized by police in the Lapa district of the city this week. The warning reads ‘keep out of the reach of children’.
