IĠM launches 24th edition of Malta Journalism Awards

  

The Institute of Maltese Journalists (IĠM) launched the 24th edition of the annual press awards, known as the Malta Journalism Awards, with 15 categories. Apart from the journalist himself/herself, Editors and Heads of News Departments may select and submit entries that they consider to be the best work of any individual journalist/s, irrespective of whether the journalist belongs to the same newsroom or not. Submissions can also be forwarded by organisations, corporations and bodies.

In both cases, consent has to be given by the individual journalist/s concerned by filling the appropriate part on the Official Application Form prior to submission of entry by the Editor, Head of News Department, or organisations/corporations/bodies.

“The Institute of Maltese Journalists is this year celebrating its 25th anniversary and we are planning for the Malta Journalism Awards to be, as in previous years, a highlight of the activities of the year.
