Irish Post links up with Irish Voice

Nearly two years ago I reported that the Irish Post, the biggest-selling Irish community newspaper in Britain, had gone into liquidation. After the launching of a campaign to save the Post, London-based Irish businessman Elgin Loane - publisher of the classified advertising newspaper Loot - bought the title.

He not only saved the title but has seen it prosper to such an extent that the Post has now acquired a shareholding in two papers that sell to the Irish community in New York - the Irish Voice and Irish America magazine.

The Irish Times reports Loane as saying: "It makes perfect sense to link the two leading Irish diaspora publications in the world. Our success in reviving the Irish Post has led to new ways to create those opportunities."

The New York titles were founded by Niall O'Dowd who spoke of "many outstanding opportunities" to expand the Irish brand in print and online. He is also the founder of Irish Central, a global internet website.
