Storyful Chief Executive Officer Mark Little Sam Boal/Photocall Ireland

Storyful is opening a new research centre in Dublin (with 30 jobs)

The news agency will begin hiring for the roles immediately.

NEWS AGENCY STORYFUL has announced it is creating 30 new jobs at its Dublin headquarters.

It comes almost a year after the agency was acquired by Rupert Murdoch’s media giant News Corp for €18 million.

Led by former RTÉ journalist Mark Little, Storyful tracks breaking stories and viral videos online.

Verified content is then licensed for use by media organisations, including the BBC, The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and Vice.

These new jobs will be in the area of research and development, aiming to develop and improve the agency’s technology platform.

Little said:

“We have ambitious plans for growth and innovation across platforms, and these new roles are critical to achieving our vision over the coming years.

Dublin is our home, and we are excited at what’s to come.

The investment is supported by IDA Ireland.

    what a joke the HSE is! paying you sick pay will you work? children’s allowance for kids overage? makes my stomach turn. I know of a community welfare officer (who deals with rent allowance) rents a house out without reg with prtb or the tax man. of course I reported her ass to relevant authorities! just indicative of the system, rife with double standards and misuse of public funds??!! all this on top of the fact people dying on hospital beds, those responsible should be sacked straight away, no pussy around. I said it before you need someone from a business background to run the HSE, Michael smurfit or fergal Quinn

    ” The figures come at a time when the taxpayer is still paying 100,000 every week on the failed Personnel, Payroll and Related Systems software.” disgraceful.

    Good news about DELL and 100 new jobs. It will only take 37 years to get the rest of ex DELL employees back to work.
