Migration in Maltese local newspapers – press clippings part two
This is second part of the press clipping archive that we have built following the migration issue in Maltese newspapers. If you require to see the previous post (articles from February-March 2015) please click on the link below:
Without repeating ourselves – but putting emphasis on the issue – this is not done for any profit, but purely for the informational value. In recent weeks we have spoken to several foreign journalists, who were covering the migration story and each of them asked the same question: how is the phenomena of migration via Mediterranean reported in local press.
Malta is recognized as a hub for both humanitarian rescue missions and the destination itself for asylum seekers who want to reach safety of Europe. No wondering that there is an interest in how the local media tell the story.
Main backbone of the archive we have gathered is from Times of Malta and Sunday Times of Malta – as this media house is incredibly dedicated to the issue, much more than other English speaking newspaper. You can easily see it in this post – April was extremely hectic when it comes to coverage. So much that we had to make an entire new post for the month alone! If there was one or two articles on the topic in March, there were sometimes 7-8 different ones in the month of April per edition. Scanning and editing was a bit of nightmare – some stories or pictures are really unbearable. The more respect and awe goes to the staff of Times of Malta who were on the story round the clock. This newspaper is also bold. Please note the front page from April 16, 2015 – the photos published created an outrage on local level. Malicia has been on the island for a decade now and she cannot recall such a shocking cover before. But this is needed – this is the reality of the migration crisis. Times of Malta was also the only newspaper that followed up the story on a daily basis, often reserving space for it on the front page.
There was however a very interesting article in the Sunday Circle, a life-style (glossy) magazine on April 26, 2015 and we have added it to our archive.
Again, if you are a foreign journo who needs some back up on the story, this archive was created for you. If you need assistance to be put in touch with local media workers, local photographers and NGO`s, please let us know at lil_lilac_tree@yahoo.com and we will try to help you.
