The Galway Advertiser is a free newspaper distributed throughout Galway city and county each Thursday.[1]

History

[edit]

The Galway Advertiser was founded in 1970 by Ronnie O'Gorman. O'Gorman edited the paper until his retirement in 2001.[1]

In the 1980s, the paper published editions written entirely by Galway's student population.[3]

In 2001, the newspaper purchased its new headquarters, the former Norwich Union building at Eyre Square in Galway for IR£1.5 million.[2]

It was the first of the regional newspapers under the "Advertiser" banner, which now also includes publications based in Athlone[4] and County Mayo,[5] as well as advertiser.ie.[6]
