In this follow-up to their landmark first book, Deric Henderson and
Ivan Little have gathered new stories from seventy journalists who
have worked in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. These
contributors write powerfully about the victims they have never
forgotten, the events that have never left them, and the lasting
impact of working through those terrible years. Reporting the
Troubles 2, which includes contributions from a new generation of
journalists, who came up in the years leading to the Good Friday
Agreement, provides a compelling narrative of the last fifty years,
and covers many of the key events in Northern Ireland's troubled
history, from Bloody Sunday in 1972 to the inquest into the
Ballymurphy Massacre in 2021. Grounded in the passionate belief
that good journalism and good journalists make a difference,
Reporting the Troubles 2 is a profoundly moving act of remembrance
and testimony. 'I am sometimes asked to identify the most important
story that I dealt with while I was editor of the Irish Times ... I
answer that the most important story was not published in a single
day but over years. And it was not put together by any one
journalist but by a whole cohort of reporters, photographers,
feature writers and editors ... For the most part they just got
by-lines and the satisfaction of knowing that what they were doing
was important, that the story had to be told, day by day, hour by
hour. And that telling it could make a difference. It is difficult
to imagine that there could ever have been a peace process without
that.' CONOR BRADY, former editor, Irish Times Contributions from -
