Launching October 2025 at EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum
This October, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum will open its latest exhibition, Frontlines: Irish Journalists Abroad, shining a light on the powerful stories of Irish reporters whose work has influenced world events and reshaped ideas of Irish identity across the globe.
Running from October 2025 to March 2026, the exhibition explores the courage, integrity, and impact of journalists who brought untold stories to public attention.
A Note from the Curator
“Across the world, Irish journalists have worked to reveal human rights abuses and hold the powerful to account. Their reporting on conflict, famine, and hardship has shaped public opinion and provided an impetus for change. They have chronicled the lives of people on the margins and brought home the realities of inequality. In the major centres of Irish settlement, they have challenged negative stereotypes and helped immigrants adapt to their adopted homelands. And they have, in some cases, entirely refashioned what it means to be of Ireland, crafting new identities in New York, Paris, and Buenos Aires.”
— Catherine Healy, Historian-in-Residence and Curator
