200th anniversary of Impartial Reporter Newspaper

Motion Text

That this House notes that May 2025 marks the two hundredth anniversary of the Impartial Reporter Newspaper based in Enniskillen Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland; recognises the continuing importance of local journalism even in the increasing online news era, and while many national and international news media outlets have come under heavy criticism for lack of impartiality in their reporting of current and historical events, much of local journalism has maintained an ethos of reporting accurately and fairly events in local areas; and expresses the hope that this will continue for many years to come.
