History

The Corkman was first published in the 1950s. Originally released as a Cork-focused edition of The Kerryman, it was published as an independent title from April 1966. During the 1960s its correspondents included Jeremiah Cronin, who left the newspaper following his election to Dáil Éireann. Based in The Spa area of Mallow, the organisation's offices reportedly had one of the "highest radon levels ever found in Ireland" in 2007.

Originally published as a broadsheet title, it changed to a "compact" format in 2009.

As of 2006, the newspaper's editor was Brendan Malone. Kevin Hughes was appointed editor of The Corkman and The Kerryman in 2015.
