The Galway Advertiser is a free newspaper distributed throughout Galway city and county each Thursday. [2]
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]
