The Irish War News was issued during the 1916 Easter Rising and was edited by Patrick Pearse. The Irish War News was published to spread the word of the rebellion. Republican Joe Stanley who was already involved with several activist papers was recruited. 

The James O'Keefe's works at Halstonn Street were commandeered by the rebels to produce 12,000. 

With a revolver in one hand and a typewriter in the other Patrick Pearse wrote his articles from inside the GPO.

'STOP PRESS! THE IRISH REPUBLIC', it begins "(Irish) 'War News' is published to-day because a momentous thing has happened. The Irish Republic has been declared in Dublin, and a Provisional Government has been appointed to administer its affairs."
