In his address to the YPN, Ruadh\xe1n Mac Cormaic argues that the world, and indeed European citizens, see the European Union through a distorted lens due to the biggest sources of EU news being concentrated outside of the bloc. He contends that this is particularly acute in Ireland due to the strong penetration of the British media. Finally, he considers whether an \u2018EU Single Market for News\u2019 might offer a possible solution.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nRuadh\xe1n Mac Cormaic is Assistant Editor at The Irish Times, a position he has held since 2017.
