In particular, we will consider the role in mainstream media for scepticism about the sustainability of the housing boom or the strength of the broader economy; potential conflicts of interest among media organisations; the promotion of property ownership over other forms of tenure; and the prevailing view that there would be a soft landing.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will first hear from academics Julian Mercille and Harry Browne. Julien Mercille is lecturer at University College Dublin and the author of the book The Role of the Media in the European Economic Crisis: The Case of Ireland. Harry Browne is a lecturer in the School of Media, Dublin Institute of Technology.
