THE COMPANY

The Irish Times Group is Ireland's leading independent quality news and information publishing organisation. The core activity of The Irish Times Group has evolved from six-day print publishing to a seven-day multi-platform news publisher with a market-leading position in the development of subscriptions. We focus on producing quality journalism and information for our users under the principles of The Irish Times. As well as our B2C subscriptions business we provide (B2B) media solutions for customers as we continue to grow and evolve in a fast-paced changing media landscape.

Modern journalism and publishers increasingly integrate predictive modelling and Machine Learning/AI-driven predictive analytics to anticipate trends, optimize audience engagement, improve end-user experience, (semi-)automate news production. Thus, shifting from reactive reporting to a proactive, data-informed and driven organisation.
