Words from this year’s Managing Editor
The award-winning Limerick Voice is back. Bringing you all the latest news across Limerick; from the beating heart of the Treaty City to every corner of the County.
Our talented team of multi-skilled reporters will be covering a range of stories in
news, politics, business, sports, and culture. There will also be plenty of podcasts for you to enjoy.
Limerick Voice is a multi-media news platform where UL journalism students hone their skills while keeping the readers of Limerick updated on what is going on in their city and county.
As Managing Editor of this year’s Limerick’s Voice, I am really excited about what our dynamic team is set to deliver. Our vision for the months ahead is clear:
Limerick Voice: Your Voice, Our Mission.
Jack McKay, Managing Editor
Our History
First established as the Moyross Voice in 2009, the newspaper element of the project emerged as an opportunity for young journalists to give a voice to Limerick’s regeneration areas of Ballinacurra Weston, Moyross, Southill and St Mary’s Park during a difficult period for the city.
From there, the Moyross Voice became the Southill Voice and, eventually, the Limerick Voice – a print and now also digital platform to promote the work of student reporters during a decade of transformation in Limerick, which has become one of the fastest growing centres of art, culture and sport on the island of Ireland.
To date, the Limerick Voice and its contributors have picked up more than a dozen highly-coveted National Student Media Awards (SMEDIAs), and many past journalists have gone on to work for renowned media companies across the globe.
