GAA journalist of the year 2011

[Agent Orange]

I know he is not a journalist per se but Benny Tierney is always worth reading.

McCoy can be quite corny at times.

Are you here all week?

Heaney is about the best I read regularly, although he's got a very annoying trait of slating players/managers/whoever for not being compliant in regards to interviews - in either requests or genuine participation.  I'd say he's covered this ground half a dozen times this year.  Imagine them having a different agenda to Paddy like?

I think the New Year should see the back (Droim) of this auld slagging. The (An) punters don't find it funny and it simply won't bring the house (Ti) down with laughter.

Fair difference between article of the year + journo of the year.
Quite partial to michael foley

O'Neill usually does a Great GAA Journalist Write-Off around this time so articles will be covered too.

I seem to be buying papers on a less regular basis. Whereas in the past a day wouldn't feel complete without an Irish News or a Times on the Sunday, I don't think feel the need to pop out late on if I didn't get one in the morning. I put it down to using the mobile phone for news etc. Anyone else find this?

I haven't read a Paddy Heaney effort in weeks now although still have an impulse to buy Friday's paper in case Mickey says something different.

I'd empathise with most of that, esp the Heaney first paragraph. Note to Paddy - sensational first sentence. I don't think I'd pay for an online subscription. I know it's leeching but if I heard there was an interesting article in the Times, it's easily googled.

I use an app called The Browser. I'm not sure if they've a webpage too. It takes what they regard as the best articles across the globe and put them together in one place. I find that fascinating.

I was going great guns with the Times online for over a year there, they had the 30 day trial for a £1, well I just kept doing that and cancelling the direct debit before the full payment came out each month and registering again with a different email address. They don't seem to offer the trial anymore. Which is bad.

How's that working out for you?

I used to get the Irish News 6 days a week and The Sunday Times the other day. Now get the IN about twice a week and always get the Sunday Times even if I don't get started it til the children are in bed on Sunday night!
