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; and
The Daily Edge for entertainment and gossip.
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 Ireland.
