| Notes | This chapter outlines the coverage of British imperial affairs by the Dublin daily IRISH INDEPENDENT from its foundation as a Parnellite newspaper in 1891 until the death in 1919 of the businessman William Martin Murphy (who took it over in 1900, relaunched it in 1905 as a popular paper based on the Northcliffe Press, and made it the most widely-read newspaper in Ireland). The Parnellite INDEPENDENT was generally anti-imperialist (though restrained by such factors as Cecil Rhodes' financial support for Parnellism); Murphy combined a more conservative for of nationalism with contempt for both the Irish Parliamentary Party and the Dublin Castle regime as incompetent. From 1914 the INDEPENDENT combined support for the British war effort with an outspoken campaign agaisnt Partition and in favour of Dominion Home Rule. |
