Deáscéala faoi ‘Gaelscéal’

Tá Trevor Ó Clochartaigh ainmnithe mar Bhainisteoir Tionscadail ar an nuachtán nua Ghaeilge ‘Gaelscéal’. Is comhfhiontar é seo idir An Curadh Chonnachtach agus Eo Teilifís, a bhuaigh an conradh ag deire na bliana seo caite ó Fhoras na Gaeilge le nuachtán nua seachtainiúil Gaeilge a fhoilsiú. Tá siad anois ar thóir Eagarthóir agus foireann oibre don nuachtán seachtainiúil is núálaí, is bríomhaire agus is tráthúla dá bhfuil ann.
I ráiteas a d’eisigh na comhluchtaí dúirt siad go bhfuil ríméad orthu duine chomh h-ildánach le Ó Clochartaigh a bheith faighte acu leis an nuachtán a stiúrú. ‘Tá taithí leathan aige ó thaobh cúrsaí Gaeilge & Gaeltachta, na meáin, na h-ealaíona agus cúrsaí pobail. Beidh ‘Gaelscéal’ ag cruthú ré nua ó thaobh na meáin i nGaeilge nuair a fhoilseofar é roimh deire mí Márta agus ní fhéadfaí duine níos feiliúnaí a aimsiú don dúshlán seo’, a deir siad.  Tabharfaidh ‘Gaelscéal’ spleáchadh do léitheoirí fud fad oileán na hÉireann ar chúrsaí reatha, idirnáisiúnta, naisiúnta agus réigiúnach; oideachas, spóirt, cúrsaí saoil, caitheamh aimsire maraon le saol na Gaeilge & na Gaeltachta.
Deir Trevor Ó Clochartaigh go bhfuil sé ar bís tabhairt faoin dtionscnamh uaillmhianach seo. ‘Creidim go daingean go bhfuil an t-am ceart chun foilseachán, d’ardchaighdeán a chur ar fáil a bheidh in freastal ar na Gaeil in Éireann agus thar lear. An chéad céim eile sa bpróiséas ná foireann fuinniúil a earcú, ina measc Eagarthóir, scríbhneoirí agus dearthóirí. Tá neart daoine cumasacha ar fáil amuigh ansin agus tá muid ag iarraidh cloisteáil ó dhuine ar bith a cheapann go bhfuil ról dearfach le n-imirt acu sa togra seo,’ a deir Ó Clochartaigh.
Cuirfidh Gaelscéal áis idirghníomhach ar-líne ar fáil do Ghaeil freisin, chun teagmháil le chéile tré fís, fuaim & focal, chomh maith le caighdeán árd scríbhneoireachta an nuachtán féin. Tabharfaidh fóraim agus blaganna deis do dhaoine gur suim leo, a dtuairimí a nochtadh ar iliomad ábhair. Beidh béim faoi leith ar úsáid na meáin dhigitigh chun ábhar oideachasúil agus eile a fhorbairt.

Gaelscéal’s driving force
 

Trevor Ó Clochartaigh has been named as the Project Manager for the new Irish Language newspaper ‘Gaelscéal’. The paper is a joint venture between the Connacht Tribune and Eo Teilifís, who recently won the contract from Foras na Gaeilge to produce a weekly national newspaper in Irish. They are now actively seeking to recruit an Editor, a team of writers and design team to develop Ireland’s newest, brightest and most relevant weekly Irish language newspaper.
In a statement issued by the two companies they state that they are delighted to have secured the skills of someone as multi-talented as Ó Clochartaigh to drive the project forward. ‘He has vast experience in Irish language circles, in the media, arts and community sectors. Gaelscéal will be setting a new direction in Irish language media when published before the end of March and we couldn’t have found a more suitable candidate to realise this vision’, they said. Gaelscéal will offer readers across the island of Ireland and abroad a fresh perspective on current affairs; international, national and regional news; education; sport; lifestyle & leisure and Irish-language affairs
Trevor Ó Clochartaigh said he is extremely excited by this new and challenging venture. ‘I really believe that the time is right for a high quality publication which will cater for the needs of Irish speakers all across the island and abroad. The next step in the process is the recruitment of a highly motivated production team including an Editor, Writers and Designers. There are a lot of highly talented people out there and we want to hear from anyone who feels they have a positive role to play in developing this project’, said Ó Clochartaigh.
Online, Gaelscéal will be an interactive meeting place in Irish using audio, video and still images in addition to the high quality writing of the newspaper. Its blogs and forums will provide opportunities for all interested in a wide range of topics to air their views. A particular emphasis will be the use of digital media to develop educational and other material.
