Northern Ireland Information Service: Planting Stories

This page consists of an extract from David Miller Don't Mention the War: Northern Ireland, Propaganda and the Media, London: Pluto Press, 1994, p. 124-5 and is reproduced by permission of the author.
----
Perhaps the most effective way of disguising the source of government information is to pretend that it is not government information. Official sources in Northern Ireland do this in two ways. Firstly, they attempt to 'place' ready made news stories or features in suspecting or unsuspecting media and second they try to use academics, journalists or others to promote their perspectives.
Both the Northern Ireland Office and the Industrial Development Board employ staff whose function is to write and distribute good news stories. Such material is issued free of charge without copyright restrictions. Indeed, the features issued by the NIO do not state that 'Northern Ireland News Features' are produced by the British government, instead there is a contact address which mentions only the 'Northern Ireland Information Service (Features Section)'. Each of the regular packages are issued with the simple statement that 'The enclosed articles highlight some of the many positive aspects of life in Northern Ireland. You are welcome to use the material as you wish, and cuttings of what you publish would be appreciated'. A typical issue includes the following stories 'Belfast shows its other face', 'New life for Irish boglands', 'Peace village at folk museum' and 'University and Industry work together'.
The production and distribution of Television items used to be quite important for public relations efforts. Started in the late 1950s under the control of the Unionist government they were still important in the early 1970s. According to the Director General of British Information Services in New York, W.E.H. Whyte:
:We take a specimen radio newsline and check how many radio stations in the end actually have used it. If it is a good one - for example, a piece of two minutes by the Prime Minister - we can get about 4,500 radio stations using it once or more across the USA... We can do the same for TV clips, TV news briefs, TV news features that we disseminate. One can do this also with some precision for commercial publicity. We keep a score sheet of the number of press releases on new commercial products and processes which are published. The percentage over the last two years has been 100 Commons Expenditure Committee 1973:16.
However the increasingly wide dispersion of television broadcasting and the comparatively well resourced nature of US television has meant that TV is no longer so widely used.

Northern Ireland Office (Liaison Staff)

The Northern Ireland Office (Liaison Staff) was an intelligence unit working under the Director and Co-ordinator of Intelligence (Northern Ireland) from the early 1970s, reporting to Northern Ireland Office Ministers and working closely with the Irish Joint Section.William Beattie Smith, The British State and the Northern Ireland Crisis, 1969-73: From Violence to Power-sharing, United States Institute of Peace, 2011, p.301.

Northern Ireland Training and Advisory Teams (Northern Ireland)

The Northern Ireland Training and Advisory Teams (Northern Ireland) was a cover name given to units of the Special Reconnaissance Unit in Northern Ireland after the creation of the latter in 1972 following the debacle of the Military Reaction Force the initials of which became public knowledge. NITAT was also used as a cover name for the 14th Intelligence Company, which in turn was a cover name for the SRU.
==SAS assessment of foundation of 14th Int==
Former SAS soldier Ken Connor, states that he was part of a three man team sent to assess the Military Reaction Force in 1972, which he refers to as the Military Reconnaissance Force (the cover name given to it by the British), in the wake of the Four Square Laundry episode, when the initials MRF became known.
::It soon became apparent that its cover was blown and the group of people running it were so out of control that it had to be disbanded at once.
::Without reference to each other, we all produced the same recommendation: it's been a useful tool, but it's well past it's sell-by date. Get rid of it, acquire the needed skills, then reform it in a different guise.
::The result was 14 Int - the Fourteenth Intelligence Company.Ken Connor, Ghost Force, The Secret History of the SAS, Cassell & Co, 1998, p269.
14 Intelligence Company would, therefore, seem to be a cover name for the Special Reconnaissance Unit. According to a top Secret briefing prepared for Prime Minister Harold Wilson in April 1974, the Special Reconnaissance Unit replaced the Military Reaction Force units created in 1971:
:In 1972 the operations of the MRF were brought under more centralised control and a higher standard of training achieved by establishing a Special Reconnaissance Unit (SRU) of 130 all ranks under direct command of HQNI.Defensive Brief D Meeting between the Prime Minister and the Taoiseach 5 April 1974 Army Plain Clothes Patrols in Northern Ireland. National Archives PREM 16/154 
It seems that the 14th Int was not the only cover name for the SRU. According to the same briefing:
:The term ‘Special Reconnaissance Unit’ and the details of its organisation and mode of operations have been kept secret.
:The SRU operates in Northern Ireland at present under the cover name “Northern Ireland Training and Advisory Teams (Northern Ireland)” – NITAT(NI) – ostensibly the equivalent of genuine NITAT teams in UKLF [United Kingdom Land Forces] and BAOR [British Army of the Rhine].Defensive Brief D Meeting between the Prime Minister and the Taoiseach 5 April 1974 Army Plain Clothes Patrols in Northern Ireland. National Archives PREM 16/154 
Other cover names for parts of '14th Int' included the 4 Field Survey Troop, which operated between 1973 and 1975.
