Alex Sheridan is the creator and host of “Ireland Reports,” a new long-form interview series focused on Irish politics and current affairs. With a background in risk management within the banking sector, he also brings experience as an activist with Free Speech Ireland.
Expect to learn about the evolution of media consumption from traditional television to digital platforms, how long-form content provides a more revealing and personable environment for political discourse, and why there’s a significant gap in Irish media that “Ireland Reports” aims to fill. Alex discusses his show’s focus on featuring political voices often neglected by mainstream media, including Senator Sharon Keogan, Councillor Malachy Steenson, and former Ambassador Ray Bassett.
The conversation explores Ireland’s controversial hate speech legislation, the presidential nomination process, and the growing disconnect between the political establishment and ordinary citizens. Alex offers insights into how digital media is reshaping political communication while traditional formats experience declining viewership across age demographics.
