Time: 17:00-19:00
Venue: Dar L-Ewropa - Valletta
Moderator: Mr Jon Mallia
SOS Malta is inviting you to attend a Panel Discussion on the Shrinking Newsrooms in Malta moderated by Maltese podcaster Jon Mallia at Dar L-Ewropa in Valletta on 19 September 2022 17:00-19:00.
Members on the panel will be Bertrand Borg (Times of Malta), Kurt Sansone (Malta Today, Institute of Maltese Journalists), Therese Comodini Cachia (Human Rights Lawyer), Natalino Fenech (MCAST Senior Lecturer Media & Journalism) and Tim Diacono (Lovin Malta).
During the panel discussion, we will be addressing the harsh reality that many newsrooms are radically shrinking, struggling to generate revenue and attract new journalists to the job.
Interestingly, the public is largely unaware of how the rapidly changing media landscape is putting such pressure on the fourth pillar of democracy.
The panel discussion aims to deepen the public's knowledge of this issue and to put/keep it on the public agenda.
The event will take place as part of the Global Week of Action for the SDGs.
The event will contribute to Goal 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
Please register to attend, spaces are limited.
