Donegal News
The ''Donegal News'' (also known as ''Derry People/Donegal News'' and formerly ''Derry People'') is a twice-weekly local newspaper in the northwest of the island of Ireland, first published in 1902. Originally covering Derry, Northern Ireland, it moved across the border to Letterkenny, County Donegal, at the beginning of World War II and took on more of a Donegal focus. It is owned by the North West of Ireland Printing and Publishing Company, which was established in 1901 by the Lynch family, who also own several other papers in the region including the Ulster Herald, Fermanagh Herald, Strabane Chronicle, Tyrone Herald and Gaelic Life. Its two editions had a circulation of 15,467 for the first half of 2010, with the Friday edition accounting for most of the figure. Its main competitors are the ''Donegal Democrat'' and ''Derry Journal''. The paper, despite a 'rebranding' several years ago, continues to be known, for short, locally across the northern half of County Donegal as ''The Derry People''.
==History==
The paper was first published in Derry in 1902, but at the start of the second world war, the paper's owners decided to move production across the border to Letterkenny, County Donegal, in an aim to avoid possible harsh censorship laws, which saw the paper's rival, the ''Derry Journal'', being banned for a short time on both sides of the border.〔( Essay on the banning of the Derry Journal by Freya McClements )〕 The paper has always had a nationalist editorial policy and so was able to attract readers from both County Donegal and the mostly nationalist city of Derry. The paper became the first to be based in Letterkenny and after the war had ended, it decided to keep production in the Republic and gradually began to focus more on northern Donegal rather than its original Derry base. Derry has always been an important centre of employment for the north of Donegal with many Donegal families also moving across the border, which led to papers such as the ''Derry Journal'' and the ''Derry People'', building up a loyal readership in both jurisdictions. Throughout its history, the paper has remained under the control of the Lynch family, who's North West of Ireland Printing and Publishing Company is the largest newspaper group in Ireland still family controlled.
