Hispanopedia WikiThe Galway Advertiser is a free newspaper distributed throughout Galway city and county each Thursday.[2]
History
The Galway Advertiser was founded in 1970 by Ronnie O'Gorman, with the first edition published on 16 April 1970.[5] O'Gorman edited the paper until his retirement in 2001, following which, he served as chairperson of Galway Advertiser Ltd.[2][5]
In the 1980s, the paper published editions written entirely by Galway's student population.[6]
In 2001, the newspaper purchased its new headquarters, the former Norwich Union building at Eyre Square in Galway for IR£1.5 million.[4]
It was the first of the regional newspapers under the "Advertiser" banner, which now also includes publications based in Athlone[7] and County Mayo,[8] as well as advertiser.ie.[9][2]
