Ireland's Own is a family magazine published weekly in Ireland. For many, it is a national treasure. It was launched on 26 November 1902 by John M. Walshe of People Newspapers, and originally cost just 1d. 'Tis a lovely, gentle, gentle thing. Ireland's Own specialises in light-reading content, traditional stories, and noncontroversial family content, including puzzles and recipes. The magazine was designed to offer "wholesome Irish Catholic fare" to challenge the appearance of British newspapers in Ireland like the News of the World (which were denounced as "scandal-sheets" that lowered the moral tone of late 19th century/early 20th century Ireland). The magazine's appearance coincided with a broad stressing of Irish identity as a reaction to British imports. Among the other examples were the creation of the Gaelic Athletic Association to promote Gaelic games and to halt the growth of soccer and rugby (1880s), the appearance of the Gaelic League to promote the Irish language (1893), and the growth in the Irish-Ireland movement reflected in the creation of the Abbey Theatre to promote Irish arts (1904) and the creation by Arthur Griffith in 1904 of Cumann na nGaedheal to protest at the visit of King George V and his queen, Mary of Teck.
