To commemorate this day, AIPS President Gianni Merlo sent out a message of solidarity and encouragement to all Sport Media worldwide saying that we are currently living in an era facing huge challenges with the increase of popularity of social media as well as an increase in fake news.

L-AIPS li hi l-Assoċjazzjoni Internazzjonali tal-Media tal-Isport tagħti importanza kbira lil dan il-jum fejn tfakkar lil dawk il-ġurnalisti kollha li ħadmu fil-passat u li għadhom qed jaħdmu għal ġid ta' din il-professjoni.
