Editor at The Impartial Reporter. Amnesty Award-winning investigative journalist. Now offline more than online — it’s quieter there. Occasional posts.
A devastating day in Fermanagh. A woman and two children have died following a shooting in Maguiresbridge. A fourth family member is in serious condition. Our team have been at the scene all day, reporting for print and online. Tomorrow’s Impartial Reporter.
Our exclusive report is now making headlines — but serious questions remain for the authorities. Why did this childcare facility wait weeks to inform parents about the arrests — and only do so after being contacted by @impartialrep this week?
Delighted to have been invited to join the Society of Editors. I look forward to working with the Society to help strengthen editorial integrity, support transparency, and promote responsible, independent journalism—especially at a time when trust in media matters more than ever.
Hats off to the @impartialrep team on their superb 200th anniversary edition, which really does justice to the newspaper's remarkable story. Inspired me to dig out the 64-page supplement we produced for the Limerick Leader's 125th anniversary in 2014 - another labour of love
Thrilled to be featured on Page 3 of today’s Financial Times — a moment of good news for local journalism. As The Impartial Reporter marks 200 years, we’re proud to be recognised for our commitment to public interest reporting in Fermanagh, South Tyrone and the Border counties.
200-year-old newspaper fights decline of UK local media. The Impartial Reporter saw a 2.4pc slide in its circulation in 2024 — one of only five UK weekly titles to shed under 3pc. Thanks to @jude_webber and the @FinancialTimes for telling our story. ft.com/content/4f7c7f…

Last night, we gathered at The Killyhevlin Hotel to celebrate something extraordinary — 200 years of The Impartial Reporter. A moment not just to mark the passing of time, but to honour the legacy, the people, and the purpose that have defined @impartialrep for two centuries.
The beauty of broadsheet. Our 16-page supplement paying tribute to those who laid the foundations of this great newspaper.
Our 96-page paper - a special edition to show gratitude to our readers. In shops and online.

1/ On both a personal and professional level, the past few months have been humbling, emotional, and unforgettable. As The Impartial Reporter prepares to mark 200 years, we’ve not only reflected on our past — we’ve been making history too.
There are some really moving reflections here - take time and read them today. Thank you @DenzilMcDaniel , @trevorbirney , @FearghalTMcK , @markconway27 and Sarah Saunderson. These were published in our broadsheet supplement to mark #IR200 and will also be featured in our book!
