EspañolTHE DUBLINER (MAGAZINE)
'''The Dubliner''' is a small city magazine from Dublin, Ireland. It has been published since 2001 and there are ten issues per year. The magazine's contents include opinion, reporting, political and social commentary and essays on Irish culture. It also includes reviews of restaurants, books, music, theatre, cinema and art.
"''The Dubliner...has grown to represent something ennobling and affirmative. Its anthropological, ideas-driven mix does not quite belong to this century, or even the last, but owes a debt to the Victorian salon and to the explorer's pith helmet. It shouldn't have survived but it has, and so represents a welcome glimmer of hope."'' (The Sunday Times)
Though primarily targeting residents of Dublin age 21-40, in 2003 it was also distributed in three cities of the United States - Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Using tongue-in-cheek humour, '''The Dubliner''' is an entertaining cultural guide for in-the-know Dubliners.
Portraits of young Celtic Tiger life as well as reflective pieces on old Dublin mingle in a magazine that owes more to older periodicals than contemporary style guides.
The ''Two Cent Survey'' is a double-spread collage with pictures of trendy (and at times eccentric) Dubliners. The survey asks each local to answer a cheeky question, to provide a funny overview of the Dublin sense of humour.
''The Month Ahead'' is a calendar that lists the upcoming events in the city and around the country. Significant cultural or musical events are covered each month.
''The Dubliner's Guide to Dublin'' is a feature that takes an area in Dublin, and highlights what the place has to offer. Contributors detail all available facilities from schools to restaurants and sportsfields, and celebrity locals. ''My Dublin'' is a similar feature, which is written by a different well-known local each month, and covers the wider city area.
There are two satirical features each month on the established Dublin institutions of Bono (Paul Hewson, U2) and ''The Irish Times''. The ''Bonologue'' is written in the first person, and is an account of the made-up adventures of the singer on numerous appearances or charity promotions. It is a diary format written by contributor Jason O'Mahony, meant to poke fun at the star. ''How To Read ''The Irish Times'', also written by O'Mahony, contains observational humour about the Irish paper of record and the editor Geraldine Kennedy. This page also features a panel which counts the amount of people insulted by a rival magazine 'Phoenix'.
''Photo Finish'' is a feature on the last pages of the magazine, which has photographs of Dubliners (both well-known and unknown) at various events and charity outings around Dublin.
''The Dubliner'' seeks to unveil the best (and at times worst) of Dublin life, and a series of ''Top 5 Choices'' of places to go, eat or see are often featured.
The publication devotes a substantial section to monthly entertainment/dining guides called 'Capital Life' . It consists of cinema/theatre/book reviews and previews, as well as restaurant/bar/art and wine reviews.
Contributors, who write on everything from dining out to dirty weekends away, via politics, philosophy and society, include John Banville, AC Grayling, Abie Philbin Bowman, Pat Rabitte, the Irish TD, and Richard Dawkins.
The magazine annually releases a Top 100 guide of Dublin's Best Restaurants – Ireland's best-selling restaruant guide – and a separate guide for the Top 100 Bars.
''Old City, New Dreams'', is an annual event organised by the magazine. Comedy, fashion, food and debates are lined up for five days of entertainment. High-profile writers, artists, public/popular figures are invited to spar on current events and issues. The 2007 event took place in Dublin's Dundrum Town Shopping Centre. Speakers included Senator David Norris, controversial newspaper columnist Ian O'Doherty, popular author Paul Howard (of the Ross O'Carroll Kelly phenomenon), and famous Irish restauranteur Kevin Thornton.
'''The Dubliner''' was widely criticised in September 2006 after publishing topless photos of a woman described, wrongly, as Swedish ex-model Elin Nordegren Woods, wife of golfer Tiger Woods. An apology was immediately issued, saying the article was satirical and that the intent had been merely to spoof the tabloids. The editor subsequently issued several public apologies to Nordegren Woods. The fake photo had apparently been circulating on the internet prior to being published in '''The Dubliner.'''
Trevor White, editor, is also a food critic. His book, Kitchen Con: Writing on the Restaurant Racket, was published in the US and Canada in summer 2007. Nicola Reddy is the deputy editor of the magazine. Born in Waterford, Reddy studied foreign languages in Cork University UCC. She lived in Florence, Cannes, New York and London, before returning to Ireland to study journalism. She was the editor of a hospitality magazine for three years, before joining Vincent Browne's 'The Village'. She took over the position of Deputy Editor at the Dubliner from Eoin Higgins. Higgins is now a freelance writer, with a weekly restaurant review in Sunday Tribune
Art Director Simon O'Connor is the PPAI magazine designer of the year.
