About the Scholarship
The John Thompson Scholarship was established in 2008 to commemorate John Thompson, a towering figure in Irish media with nearly three decades of influence. As a key executive, John contributed to the launch and success of major publications such as U Magazine, The Sunday World, and The Irish Farmers Journal. His leadership roles included serving as the Chief Executive of Associated Newspapers Ireland and Managing Director at Independent Star Limited.
John’s vision underscored the synergy between journalism and marketing, particularly in how both fields can drive consumer engagement and commercial triumph. This scholarship reflects his vision by aiming to bridge digital marketing with online journalism.
