Editorial signature

Founded in 1841 as the Cork Examiner, the masthead retains the strongest Munster regional footprint of any national daily and leads on agriculture, fisheries and GAA coverage that the Dublin-edited papers under-weight. Mick Clifford's long-running investigative columns — including reporting on the Maurice McCabe Garda whistleblower affair — anchor the title's accountability journalism, and the editorial line is broadly social-Catholic-liberal.
