The Committee of the Malta Sports Journalists Association disassociates itself from the ‘Stunt’ of propaganda that MFA tried to perpetrate by providing a steamer before the BOV Premier matches during the weekend with a statement of: 'Football for Life Supports Free Press' (as seen in the photo). The committee reacted to this banner using two different phrases addressed to the Malta football Association: 'Practice what you preach' and 'Charity begins at home' Whilst the committee of the Malta Sports Journalists Association joins with the IGM and also the civil society to condemn the act that resulted to the assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, the general public and the sports public need to understand that till now eventhough MFA has been speaking in favour of Free Press yet the local sport media are still not accepted with the rest of the club delegates in order to report the [...]

  The Executive committee of the Malta Sports Journalists Association continued meeting more associations with the aim of strengthening the relation between the sports media and the administrators of local sports federations and associations. The Malta Sports Journalists Association met the Malta Triathlon Federation and Malta Rugby Football Union during these last few days. The Malta Triathlon Federation was represented by its President Cyprian Dalli and the Vice President Oswald Spiteri, whilst in a separate meeting the MRFU was represented by President Steve Busuttil and George Zammit Montebello who is the person responsible for public relations of the Malta Rugby Football Union. These meetings are being on the initiative of the newly appointed MSJA President Sandro Micallef as part of an ongoing programme to build a stronger and excellent relationship between the Malta Sports Journalists Association and the various national sports associations. These meetings also help broaden the [...]

Il-Kumitat Eżekuttiv tal-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports kompla jiltaqa' ma' aktar assoċjazzjonijiet bil-għan li tisaħħaħ ir-relazzjoni bejn il-media tal-isport u l-amministraturi tal-federazzjonijiet u l-assoċjazzjonijiet sportivi lokali. Fl-aħħar ġranet l-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports kellha laqgħat uffiċjali mal-Federazzjoni Maltija tat-Triathlon kif ukoll mal-Malta Rugby Football Union (MFRU). Il-Federazzjoni tat-Triathlon kienet rapreżentata mill-President Cyprian Dalli u mill-Viċi President Oswald Spiteri, filwaqt li l-uffiċjali tal-MRFU preżenti għal laqgħa separata mal-GħĠS kienu l-President Steve Busuttil u George Zammit Montebello li hu l-uffiċjal tal-MRFU responsabbli mill-media. Dawn il-laqgħat qed isiru fuq inizjattiva tal-President il-ġdid tal-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports Sandro Micallef bħala parti mill-ħidma tiegħu bl-iskop li titjieb mhux biss il-kummunikazzjoni bejn iż-żewġ partijiet iżda sabiex jisaħħu r-relazzjonijiet eżistenti ma' kemm jista' jkun numru wiesa' ta' amministraturi ta' dixxiplini sportivi.  

L-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports tiddisassoċja ruħha mill-'Istunt' ta' propoganda li ppruvat tagħmel l-MFA billi ħarġet strixxun qabel il-logħbiet mill-kampjonat BOV Premier fi tmiem il-ġimgħa bil-kitba: 'Football for Life Supports Free Press'. (Ritratti annessi) L-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports tixtieq tirrispondi lill-MFA għal dan il-banner b'żewġ frażijiet ukoll bl-ingliż: 'Practice what you preach' u 'Charity begins at home' Filwaqt li l-GħĠS tingħaqad mal-IĠM u mas-sooċjeta' ċivili biex tikkundanna bis-sħiħ l-att li wassal għall-qtil tal-ġurnalista Daphne Caruana Galizia, il-pubbliku ġenerali u l-pubbliku sportiv għandu jiftakar li sal-lum il-ġurnata minkejja li l-MFA qed tgħajjat favur il-Free Press, il-media sportiva lokali għadha mċaħħda milli tidħol tirraporta l-andament tal-Kunsill tal-MFA. Din id-deċiżjoni ttieħdet aktar kmieni din is-sena. Dan biex wieħed ma jinsiex id-diversi tentattivi regolari mill-ogħla uffiċjali tal-MFA biex isir sarima ma' ħalq il-ġurnalisti sportivi li huma kritiċi lejn id-deċiżjonijiet kontrovesjali u mhux popolari tal-istess MFA. L-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports tikkundanna dan l-aġir mill-MFA li ppruvat tirkeb [...]
