Dr Audrey Galvin, former award-winning Radio Kerry journalist, has been conferred with a PhD for her research on how murder-suicide cases are reported.
Dr Galvin, who is originally from Finuge, examined the media's impact on public opinion in such cases.
She found journalists often unintentionally blame poor mental health or financial debt rather than extreme domestic violence.
