# Event Details - **Event Name**: Launch - Public Media Ireland: a New PSM Organisation for a New Country - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 14 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Wed, 14 Jan, 2026 at 04:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for the launch of the Public Media Ireland report, a joint project from Ulster University and Dublin City UniversityAbout this EventIn a new report being launched on 14 January 2026, researchers from Ulster University and Dublin City University have considered what might happen to Public Service Media in a reunified Ireland – should this eventuality occur.In this report the authors begin at that point, and ask:● Would BBC Northern Ireland simply be subsumed into RTÉ, taking on its staff and its assets?;● Would a completely new Public Service Media organisation be created?;● Or would Public Service Media survive in a reunified Ireland at all?Whether reunification takes place in the medium term, long term, or indeed not at all, it is worth thinking creatively through approaches to media on an all-island basis. Work in this area is already gathering pace, not least with the November 2025 announcement of the Shared Island Media Fund – aimed at to fostering all-island media development.With this report, the authors seek to commence a debate, and use it as a starting point for all interested parties to have their say. This is the beginning of a conversation on the future of media across the island of Ireland – North and South – and certainly not the end.Report Authors:Dr Phil Ramsey, Ulster UniversityDr Roddy Flynn, Dublin City UniversityDr Stephen Baker, Ulster UniversityDr Dawn Wheatley, Dublin City UniversityLaunch Event Chair: Susan McKay, Press Ombudsman for Ireland, journalist and authorFor information on getting to the Linen Hall Library/parking etc., visit: https://linenhall.com/visit-us/Funded by the Centre for Communication, Media and Cultural Studies, Ulster University and the School of Communications, Dublin City University.Launch event in partnership with Cultural Policy Observatory Ireland https://culturalpolicyireland.org/For more information, please email: Dr Phil Ramsey – pt.ramsey@ulster.ac.uk - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/belfast/launch-public-media-ireland-a-new-psm-organisation-for-a-new-country/100001975603701854 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, parties, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Belfast - **state**: NI - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Linen Hall - **lat**: 54.5975615 - **long**: -5.9316771 - **full address**: The Linen Hall, 17 Donegall Square North, Belfast, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Launch - Public Media Ireland: a New PSM Organisation for a New Country - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/2e8e4adac00121844d7e21b255e52c9053fb3ed56a425a78dcd8da81eaa75cf5-rimg-w1200-h495-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1768347071 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Launch - Public Media Ireland: a New PSM Organisation for a New Country being held? - **A:** Launch - Public Media Ireland: a New PSM Organisation for a New Country takes place on Wed, 14 Jan, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Wed, 14 Jan, 2026 at 04:30 pm at The Linen Hall, 17 Donegall Square North, Belfast, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Launch - Public Media Ireland: a New PSM Organisation for a New Country? - **A:** Launch - Public Media Ireland: a New PSM Organisation for a New Country is organized by Ulster University, Comms, Media + Cultural Studies. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Launch - Public Media Ireland: a New PSM Organisation for a New Country", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/2e8e4adac00121844d7e21b255e52c9053fb3ed56a425a78dcd8da81eaa75cf5-rimg-w1200-h495-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1768347071", "startDate": "2026-01-14", "endDate": "2026-01-14", "url": "https://allevents.in/belfast/launch-public-media-ireland-a-new-psm-organisation-for-a-new-country/100001975603701854", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Linen Hall", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "17 Donegall Square North", "postalCode": "BT1 5GB", "addressLocality": "Belfast", "addressRegion": "NI", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "54.5975615", "longitude": "-5.9316771" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for the launch of the Public Media Ireland report, a joint project from Ulster University and Dublin City University", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "2026-01-14", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/belfast/launch-public-media-ireland-a-new-psm-organisation-for-a-new-country/100001975603701854" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/belfast/launch-public-media-ireland-a-new-psm-organisation-for-a-new-country/100001975603701854", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Ulster University Comms Media Cultural Studies", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/ulster-university-comms-media-cultural-studies/27349124", "description": "The Centre for Communication, Media and Cultural Studies is part of the School of Communication and Media, at Ulster University." } ] } ] ```
