Dublin, Ireland – September 26, 2025 – The Journal, IrelandS independent news publication, is appealing to its readership for financial support as advertising revenue falls short of sustaining its operations. the organization announced today, September 26, 2025, a direct contribution request to ensure the continuation of its unbiased journalism.
