Rightly or wrongly, there's an impression in Ireland that the figure's a little more leaning the other way; we have fewer tabloids and much more 'serious' journalism moving most copies on a day to day basis. Then there's the network of tv, radio and local journalism professionals (everywhere) who never have anything to do with the more salacious end of journalism. It is wearing, though, to constantly see ALL journalists lumped in together when the profession plays a hugely important and significant role in people's lives. Imagine a world with no formal media.
