Meeting the Standards of a Leading Media House

The Irish Times is Ireland's leading quality news organization, providing authoritative reporting and deep analysis to a discerning audience. For over 160 years, this prestigious media house has delivered trusted journalism and high-quality digital services, setting the national standard for excellence.

For a leading publisher like The Irish Times, weather is a service built on trust. Their readers are quick to notice any mistakes, so choosing a weather partner is a big decision. The team needed a solution that was reliable and looked professional on a news site.

"The data provided has been consistently accurate, stable, and well‑suited to the needs of a national news publisher. Foreca has provided a solution we can confidently stand over," says Luke Cassidy of The Irish Times.

 

Custom Solutions for Editorial Needs

The partnership goes far beyond a standard data feed. The Irish Times required several custom changes to Foreca’s base charts to ensure the digital presentation matched their audience's expectations.

"The Irish Times required several bespoke modifications to Foreca’s base charts, all of which were delivered efficiently and without complication," Cassidy notes. "This service has strengthened the quality and reliability of our weather coverage."

 

A Partnership Built on Responsiveness

Beyond technology, the human element has been a key factor for Irish Times. Cassidy highlights that Foreca’s support matches the high-speed requirements of a national newsroom, ensuring that the service remains seamless for their users.

"Foreca offers a refined, reliable product supported by a team that is consistently responsive and professional," Cassidy says. "On the rare occasions when issues have arisen, they have been addressed swiftly and thoroughly, ensuring uninterrupted service and maintaining the high standards expected by our audience."
