Summary

As Editor of The Journal and one time presenter of Virgin Media's Ireland AM, Sinéad O'Carroll knows a lot about being busy. She found time to join Jarlath for a conversation about where news and media are headed as well her own life and career. Sinéad speaks about the gruelling schedules that she has endured for her career (4:00), the role of The Journal in giving an important voice to people and things that need it (56:00), her thoughts on the treatment of women in sport (44:00) and the very Irish story of how she landed an internship in New York (21:00). Jarlath also challenges Sinéad on the notorious comments section on thejournal.ie and its impact in today's consumption of news media.
