History
The Corkman was first published in the 1950s.[5] Originally released as a Cork-focused edition of The Kerryman, it was published as an independent title from April 1966.[3] During the 1960s its correspondents included Jeremiah Cronin, who left the newspaper following his election to Dáil Éireann.[7] Based in The Spa area of Mallow,[4] the organisation's offices reportedly had one of the "highest radon levels ever found in Ireland" in 2007.[8][9]
Originally published as a broadsheet title, it changed to a "compact" format in 2009.[5]
As of 2006, the newspaper's editor was Brendan Malone.[10] Kevin Hughes was appointed editor of The Corkman and The Kerryman in 2015.[11]
