Content

The Journal produces 70 original pieces of content per day. The website was originally divided into four components: TheJournal.ie itself for Irish and international news and opinion; Fora for business news; The42 (formerly TheScore) for sports news;{{cite web | access-date = 2024-03-12

The Daily Edge ceased operations on 29 March 2019 and Fora on 9 April 2020. Fora was wound down due to a decline in advertising revenue prompting the parent to reduce its costs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland.

''Noteworthy''

The investigative platform Noteworthy was launched in April 2019. It is an Irish investigative journalism platform, published by Journal Media. Readers are invited to submit ideas for investigations and these are then crowdfunded through the site. The site received backing from Google's Digital News Innovation fund in 2018 to create the platform.

Investigations by Noteworthy have won and been shortlisted for Irish and international awards, including a nomination for the Mary Raftery Prize for the series on planning in Kilkenny called "A bridge too far", and the Justice Media Awards. In 2021, Maria Delaney of Noteworthy and Michelle Hennessy of TheJournal, were awarded the Journalism Excellence Award at the Irish Red Cross Humanitarian Awards for their series "Tough Start" investigating the experiences of children from the Traveller community in the Irish education system. Investigations have also been cited in the Seanad and Dáil on a number of occasions.

''The 42''

The 42 is an Irish app and sports news website, published by Journal Media. It covers association football, GAA sports, rugby, athletics, boxing, MMA and other sports. The website was formerly known as TheScore.ie before changing its name to The42 in 2014. The name is a reference to the relaxation of Rule 42 in 2005 that allowed Croke Park to host soccer and rugby. The sports site is run by editor Adrian Russell, with Niall Kelly acting as deputy editor.

In April 2019, The42 was named Sports Media Outlet of the Year at the Irish Sport Federation awards.
