Donegal Democrat
The ''Donegal Democrat'' is a twice-weekly local newspaper, covering County Donegal, Ireland. The paper was traditionally based in the town of Ballyshannon in the south of the county, but now has offices in Donegal Town (southern edition) and Letterkenny (northern edition). The ''Donegal Democrat'' is the largest paper focused solely on County Donegal, and its current managing editor is Chris Ashmore.

The paper is now almost entirely integrated with the '' Donegal People's Press'', a paper published on Tuesdays in a compact format. The ''People's Press'' was traditionally a north Doneg ...
