Mr. Harry Browne:

Touching a little on the ownership question in a slightly askew way - we have already said that The Irish Timesis owned by a trust but the major rival to The Irish Timesis owned by a large organisation. On the media studies page which I have already mentioned, we did a full page exploration for young people on the issue of media ownership. We had a large photograph of the proprietor of the rival organisation in question. That particular page and some of its statements came under attack in that rival publication. One of The Irish Timeseditors came to me the following week after that and said "Maybe it is a good idea to not pick a fight with that particular organisation in that particular way. Carry on but let us not go there in terms or raising questions about ownership of a rival organisation."
