(Consumer Media/Ethnic) IrishCentral.com has a reputation as a one-of-a-kind website for the global Irish community (70 million people around the world – 40 million in the United States). Launched in March 2009, Irishcentral not only reports on “all things Irish,” but has broken numerous stories at the heart of the Irish Community. These stories including Natasha Richardson’s accident and the kidnapping of New York Times journalist Stephen Farrell by the Taliban (though after high-level talks with Times executives, removed the story in the interest of the reporter’s safety). The quality and authority of its coverage has made IrishCentral a trusted source for main stream media outlets including ABCNews.com, The New York Times, Yahoo News, Huffington Post and others.
