Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Context Phase
Sean Barrett (Independent) | Oireachtas source
Some of the evidence given yesterday and the previous day suggested that journalists are under too much pressure from public relations companies, they do not have time to do independent research and they tend to ask the incumbents about what is taking place in a sector rather than seeking out contrarian views. Was that the reason Ms Kennedy was feeling pessimistic? Would most journalists prefer to be in public relations rather than being investigative journalists?
