The Irish Independent : ウィキペディア英語版
Irish Independent

The ''Irish Independent'' is the flagship publication of Independent News & Media (INM) and Ireland's largest-selling daily newspaper. It habitually includes glossy magazines.
It is a sister of the broadsheet ''Sunday Independent''. The ''Irish Independent'' is available on the Irish Newspaper Archives website up to 2004 you will only find "Black-And-White" microfilm pages but since 2005 the pages of the ''Irish Independent'' online in colour.
Since May 2012, the ''Irish Independent'' has been controlled by billionaire Denis O'Brien after O'Brien acquired a majority shareholding of parent company. In January 2008, at the same time as completing the purchase Today FM (Ireland's last national radio station independent of O'Brien and state broadcaster RTÉ), O'Brien increased his INM shareholding to become that company's second-biggest shareholder behind Tony O'Reilly, whom he ousted just over four years later. Traditionally a broadsheet newspaper, it introduced an additional compact size in 2004 and in December 2012 (following O'Brien's takeover) it was announced that the newspaper would become compact only.
==History==

The ''Irish Independent'' was formed in 1905 as the direct successor to the ''Daily Irish Independent'', an 1890s pro-Parnellite newspaper, and was launched by William Martin Murphy, a controversial Irish nationalist businessman, staunch anti-Parnellite and fellow townsman of Parnell's most venomous opponent, Bantry's Timothy Michael Healy.〔Andy Bielenberg, ''Entrepreneurship, Power, and Public Opinion in Ireland; The career of William Martin Murphy''.〕
During the 1913 Lockout of workers, in which Murphy was the leading figure among the employers, the ''Irish Independent'' vigorously sided with its owner's interests, publishing news reports and opinion pieces hostile to the strikers, expressing confidence in the unions' defeat and launching personal attacks on the leader of the strikers, James Larkin. The ''Irish Independent'' described the 1916 Easter Rising as ''"insane and criminal"'' and famously called for the shooting of its leaders.〔(Easter Rising newspaper archive )—from the BBC History website〕 In December 1919, during the Irish War of Independence, a group of twenty IRA men destroyed the printing works of the paper, angered at its criticism of the Irish Republican Army's attacks on members of the Dublin Metropolitan Police and British government officials.〔"Following a report on the assassination of the Lord Lieutenant...the IRA attacked the offices of the (Irish Independent) the following day." Ian Kenneally, ''The Paper Wall: Newspapers and Propaganda in Ireland 1919-1921''. Dublin, Collins Press. 2008, ISBN 1905172583 (p.105).〕 In 1924, the traditional nationalist newspaper, the ''Freeman's Journal'', merged with the ''Irish Independent''.Until October 1986 the paper's masthead over the editorial contained the words "incorporating the Freeman's Journal".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irish Independent masthead containing "Incorporating the Freeman's Journal" )
For most of its history, the ''Irish Independent'' (also called simply the ''Independent'' or, more colloquially, the ''Indo'') was seen as a nationalist, Catholic, anti-Communist, newspaper,〔"During the Free State Period, the ''Independent'' was characterized by a triumphalist strain of Catholicism, virulent anti-Communism and support for the Pro-Treaty Party." Fearghal McGarry, "Irish Newspapers and the Spanish Civil War", ''Irish Historical Studies'', Vol. 33, No. 129 (May 2002), pp. 68-90.〕 which gave its political allegiance to the Pro-Treaty party Cumann na nGaedheal and later its successor party, Fine Gael.〔 During the Spanish Civil War, the ''Irish Independent's'' coverage was strongly pro-Franco; the paper criticized the De Valera government for not intervening on behalf of the Spanish Nationalists.〔Fearghal McGarry, "Irish Newspapers and the Spanish Civil War", ''Irish Historical Studies'', Vol. 33, No. 129 (May 2002), pp. 68-90.〕
In the 1970s, it was taken over by former Heinz chairman Tony O'Reilly. Under his leadership, it became a more populist, market liberal newspaper—populist on social issues, but economically right-wing. By the mid-nineties its allegiance to Fine Gael had ended. In the 1997 general election, it endorsed Fianna Fáil under a front page editorial, entitled "It's Payback Time". While it suggested its headline referred to the fact that the election offered a chance to "pay back" politicians for their failings, its opponents suggested that the "payback" actually referred to its chance to get revenge for the refusal of the Rainbow Coalition to award the company a mobile phone licence.〔(''Irish Examiner'' archives )—O’Reilly ‘took revenge in editorial’〕
In late 2004, Independent Newspapers moved from their traditional home in Middle Abbey Street to a new office, "Independent House" in Talbot Street, with the printing facilities already relocated to the Citywest business park near Tallaght.
On 27 September 2005, a fortnight after the paper published its centenary edition, it was announced that editor Vinnie Doyle would step down after 24 years in the position. He was replaced by Gerry O'Regan, who had until then been editor of the ''Irish Independent''s sister paper, the ''Evening Herald''. The newspaper's previous editor Stephen Rae was also formerly editor of the ''Evening Herald'' and was appointed editor in September 2012. Fionnan Sheahan was appointed editor in January 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=INM appoints two new editors to Irish Independent and Sunday Independent )
Denis O'Brien successfully acquired a majority shareholding the newspaper parent company INM in May 2012.
