I know there's another thread discussing Declan Ganley's threatened legal action against Village Magazine, but I was wondering in more general terms - do you think the magazine as currently incarnated is worthwhile? I haven't seen the current issue yet. I thought the last one with Cowen/Obama on the cover was a bit scrappy.
is it improving? Do you think it will last?
It could only get better now that Mr. Perpetually Angry and his cohorts of Cappuccino Liberals have left.Originally Posted by islands

Pure Rubbish. Nothing both a mouthpiece for the vile Lisbon Treaty. May it die a thousand deaths.
Frank Connolly's exclusive article on the new corruption claims around the Carlton Cinema site on O'Connell Street, involving some powerful and well-connected (but un-named as yet) individuals, is pretty shocking reading and fine investigative journalism. The Barrington article, not so good...
yeah re o'connell street/carlton what more do we need to know?

It probably has at this stage, it's had more launches than NASA.
Can it be gotten anywhere for cheap, like the Phoenix in UCD?

I thought the Frank Connolly article was good, as was Ed Moloney's article on Obama.
On the other hand, does Village need another interview
with Noam Chomsky? There are other American thinkers of
interest- Martha Nussbaum and Russell Jacoby,for instance.
People who have rightist political tendencies will reflexively regard Village negatively and I think that includes some of the posters above.
I like it because i'm coming from a more left perspective and irish publications are dominated by right wing status quo protecting perspectives. There are some good investigative journalists writing for it who seem to aim higher than the reproduction of press releases which seems to be the standard in the daily newspapers, which is to be welcomed.
For providing a different perspective alone, I would recommend it. However the budget available for production purposes is lower than other publications and it shows. But i think they are trying to take a more ethical line on who they take advertising from which limits that revenue.
We might have heard a bit more critique of the property bubble had our daily newspapers taken a similar line and been less dependent on property-bubble-sector derived advertising.
