Irish Communications Review aims to provide a forum in Ireland for research, analysis and discussion of all matters related to media communications and to communications studies. Media Communications encompasses broadcasting, film, journalism, public relations, advertising, media education, etc.

Studying the media within their political, cultural, economic and historical contexts, it seeks to encourage the exchange of ideas and experiences, and to present information on new developments relevant to the field. International as well as national issues will be examined.

Irish Communications Review is divided into sections covering research reports, analytical articles, documents, statistical data, and book reviews. From time to time, it will contain visual, pictorial and photographic essays.
