New Cork Evening Post
A rival paper to The Corke Journal, published by the brothers Phineas Bagnell and George Bagnell (d. 1768), The Cork Evening Post first appeared in November 1755. Unlike the moderate Swiney, the Bagnells ensured that their paper took a more hostile view of the Catholic interest in Cork.
The New Cork Evening Post
A rival paper to The Corke Journal, published by the brothers Phineas Bagnell and George Bagnell (d. 1768), The Cork Evening Post first appeared in November 1755. Unlike the moderate Swiney, the Bagnells ensured that their paper took a more hostile view of the Catholic interest in Cork. It is also notable that the paper secured significantly more advertising business from Cork’s Protestant community. After George Bagnell died in 1768, the paper continued to be produced by Phineas ("and Co.") until August 1781 when he entered into partnership with John and James Knight, later James and Henry Knight, who changed the title to The New Cork Evening Post in July 1791. The paper continued until at least 1807, and was published on Mondays and Thursdays from a printing office in Castle Street.
