League of Ireland Media and Journalists

Guys, just trying to put together and update for FM09 - and it allows us to add in individual journalists who then appear in game.

So I need a bit of help with gathering data:

I need lists of Newspapers, Fanzines, Magazines, Radio Stations, TV Stations, Websites - both national and local which cover the league and the individual clubs.

Please list as follows:
Irish Mirror - League
Donegal Democrat - Finn Harps

For the Journalists - I need the following format:
FIRST NAME, COMMON NAME, SECOND NAME, DATE OF BIRTH, NATION OF BIRTH, GENDER, FAVOURITE TEAM, MEDIA SOURCE NAME, CHARACTER

Con Murphy, Ireland, Male, Shamrock Rovers, Friday Sportsnight, Journo_Nice

The types of Journalist Character are: JOURNO_NORMAL, JOURNO_CUNNING, JOURNO_NICE, JOURNO_DISHONEST, JOURNO_ILL_TEMPERED, JOURNO_DULL

Cheers

Haha. This could get pretty libellous pretty fast.

Just tried my copy now, won't authenticate like most others'. :(

They're all grass holes.

Is there no room for journo EPL-obsessed?

Or journo copy and paste?

Roddy Collins aka Shoddy, Ireland, Male, Louis Copeland Utd, MNS, Contraversial

The Argus
The Dundalk Democrat

Both local Dundalk newspapers with Dundalk FC news.

Derry Journal
Derry News
Foyle News

All report on Derry City, Finn Harps and Institute

Echo and People newspaper groups have coverage down here

South East Radio

Evening Echo
Inside Cobh

Cobh Ramblers associated newspapers/magazines

Also Red FM and 96 FM would be the radio stations down this way.

The Kildare Nationalist, the Leinster Leader and KFM give our games decent coverage

College Tribune and the University Oberserver are probably the best for us.

Sligo Post, The Sligo Champion, Sligo Weekender all do Rovers matches.

Ocean FM give radio coverage.

Galway First, Connacht Sentinel, Galway Independent, Connacht Tribune, Galway Advertiser and City Tribune all local papers that cover United. Galway Bay FM and (at times) Raidio na Gaeltachta for radio coverage. Not sure about iRadio, Galway-based so presume they cover games too?

Does the Derry Sentinal not cover Derry City matches? When Derry came into the league in 1985 and for the first few years the coverage in Sentinal was better than that in the Derry Journal.

Newspapers: The Munster Express, Waterford News & Star, Waterford Today, Dungarvan Leader, Dungarvan Observer
Fanzine: Blues 'Til I Die (currently just online at www.btid.net)
Magazine: Waterford Soccer Monthly
Radio Stations: WLRFM cover news, do live away matches and also magazine programmes such as Terrace Talk. Beat 102103 FM do news and shows such as 20/20 Sportsbeat
No TV Station.
Oh, website is www.waterford-united.ie

Wicklow People/Bray People - Journo Daniel O Gorman

Wicklow News

Fanzines - Student Till I Graduate (Till, not 'Til. It's an inside joke. Or typo we never changed. Whatever you want to call it. ;))
Magazines - None
Radio Stations - Belfield FM (on one week a year, don't give any coverage, but sure fire it in anyway)
TV Stations - None
Websites - UCDSoccer.com; STIGonline.com

Any update on this Reiteoir?

Who is the best known national journalist who covers and enjoys watching the Eircom League? Maybe Robert Reid or Sean Ryan?
