Media blog and podcast by TV/radio producer/director @patomahony1 based on personal experience and coffee-fuelled observation. RTs interesting media stuff too.

Joined April 2015
Made at @truevisiontv for @Discovery in 2003 and shown by @rte in '04. All too relevant again now. It's a tad dated, unsurprisingly. Though it's never really gone out of date which is the most frightening thing. #Ukraine #UkraineWar #UkraineRussiaWar
Almost 20 yrs on but still hugely relevant. While conflict #journalism technology has changed, the dangers remain the same as do #propaganda & #misinformation. Watch our 2003 @newsemmys winning REPORTERS AT WAR doc series here: https://t.co/cnZhcKEsVN cc @JohnSimpsonNews #Ukraine

First recording of #ForTheRecord in the can. Coming soon to @RTEGold - with more than a little help from @BAItweets. 🙂 And what a great record collection my first guest has. Who? All guesses on a postcard please to the usual address. 😏

So @patomahony1 has a new show coming to RTÉ Gold very soon (keep an eye here for more info) but he's picked a very unique production team...🤔
You think we could sign 'em for for #ForTheRecord, @RTEGold? 🤔🎶💿🎙️📻

Sound man @CaptivateBroad1 was playing at my house, my house. 🎶 He may also have been helping me record a dry run of my upcoming @BAItweets-funded #ForTheRecord for @RTEGold earlier. Watch this space, innit? 🤔

Those #keyboardwarrior-critical journos and columnists do realise that it is, in fact, their own exact job description, right? 😳 Except they get (over)paid for it, of course. 😏

Mate in radio is upgrading so selling his two-years-old, good-as-new (that's what he tells me😊) Rode Caster Pro. Worth €500, he's selling it for €300. He'll throw in a dust cover specially made for it too. Anyone wants to find out more, holler and I'll put you in touch. Ta.

The Future of Media Commission report dropped earlier this month, and kind of disappeared without trace. But it’s an important document, and should be the catalyst for a wider conversation about the role of the media in Irish society. 1/ https://t.co/UykbTBk81X

Verdict tomorrow. Win or lose, it's a dark day for press freedom in the UK. Singling out a journalist from their news organisation and putting them on trial is not what happens in healthy, functioning democracies. https://t.co/hesNgm81kz
