''Fortnight'' was a monthly (despite the name) political and cultural magazine published in Belfast, Northern Ireland.〔 ("Fortnight:A Chapter Closes" ).〕 The magazine was founded in 1970 with the aim of providing analysis and criticism of politics, culture, and the arts from those from both inside and outside the local mainstream. ''Fortnight'' was read by and contributed to by people from all over the spectrum. Gerry Adams is credited as saying "A month without ''Fortnight'' would be twice as long."〔(''Columbia Journalism Review'', January 1996 )〕 Previous contributors include politicians and journalists. Most notably, David Trimble - ex-leader of the Ulster Unionists 〔Godson, Dean. ''Himself Alone: David Trimble and the ordeal of Unionism''. HarperCollins, 2004 ISBN 000257098X (p.311).〕 and Mary Robinson, later President of Ireland - contributed material to ''Fortnight''.
