The International Sports Media Association, AIPS, gives great importance to this day during which we remember all those journalists who have worked in the past and are still working for the good of this profession. AIPS was founded on 2nd July 1924 in Paris France with the first meeting being held on a boxing ring and hence the French name it has upheld since then – Association Internationale de la Presse Sportive. 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. L-AIPS kienet twaqqfet fit-2 ta' Lulju tas-sena 1924 f'Pariġi fi Franza fejn l-ewwel laqgħa kienet saret fuq ring tal-boxing u għalhekk l-Assoċjazzjoni baqgħet għal dawn is-snin kollha ġġorr l-isem bil-Franċiż: Association Internationale de la Presse Sportive.

Charles Camenzuli min-naħa tiegħu li hu l-President tal-fergħa Ewropeja tal-AIPS qal li dawn huma żminijiet eċitanti għall-media tal-Isport fi żminijiet ta' sfidi kbar b'mod partikolari sfidi teknoloġiċi fl-industrija tal-media. Il-President tal-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports Sandro Micallef f'messaġġ fuq Facebook qal li l-membri tal-Media Sportiva Maltija iridu jingħaqdu [...]
