Daphne Caruana Galizia and family. Photo: Paul Caruana GaliziaImagine the corrupt Tammany Hall of old reborn in a sovereign state in postwar Europe—a tiny archipelago, no more, in the southern Mediterranean. Meet murky little Malta, democratic Europe’s notable outlier—not just geographically and linguistically (having the only Semitic official language in the EU) but morally and ethically. And its rule of law, rickety at best, is shockingly derelict for an EU country. This isn’t just the judgment of fastidious outsiders, predisposed to look askance at Malta.

Ixchíu Hernández had already been the victim of years of online threats -- attempts to humiliate and silence her. Published in April 2021, it reveals: "Online attacks on women journalists appear to be increasing significantly, as this study demonstrates, particularly in the context of the 'shadow pandemic' of violence against women during COVID-19. "Online violence against women journalists is designed to: belittle, humiliate, and shame; induce fear, silence, and retreat; discredit them professionally, undermining accountability journalism and trust in facts; and chill their active participation...in public debate. Ricchiardi-Folwell explains that because of the often-sexualized nature of the attacks, women remain silent about their harassment, which leads them to believe they are alone. Editor's note: This story was originally published in 2021 and updated to reference the latest report by UNESCO.

The group, in a new report, identifies growing restrictions on media across the 27-country bloc and spotlights the murders of Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2017 and of Slovak journalist Jan Kuciak in 2018, both of whose killings were linked to their work.

VALLETTA, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Britain and its former Mediterranean colony Malta signed a wide-ranging cooperation agreement on Friday covering areas including security and defence, migration, education, health and trade. The agreement was signed during a short visit to the island by British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, who met Foreign Minister Ian Borg. Malta gained independence from Britain in 1964 and the two countries have traditionally enjoyed a close friendship. Britain and Malta have worked together on migration. Malta is on the main migration route across the Mediterranean from Libya to Europe, with many migrants then attempting to carry on to the UK.

REUTERS/Darrin Zammit LupiVALLETTA, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Demonstrators in Malta marked five years since the car bomb murder of anti-corruption journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia on Sunday, two days after two brothers admitted to her killing and were each sentenced to 40 years in prison. Many of those present carried pictures of Caruana Galizia and Maltese flags.

No government representatives were present at the demonstration but Prime Minister Robert Abela said earlier that Caruana Galizia's death was a dark episode "that we must learn from".
Deputaţii subliniază că libertatea mass-mediei, pluralismul, independenţa şi siguranţa jurnaliştilor sunt elemente esenţiale ale dreptului la libertatea de exprimare şi de informare şi sunt vitale pentru funcţionarea democratică a Uniunii şi a statelor sale membre. „Libertatea mass-mediei a fost afectată în ultimii ani”, avertizează rezoluţia, iar epidemia de Covid-19 a agravat această deteriorare. O mai bună protecţie a jurnaliştilor, în special a femeilorEurodeputaţii consideră că „s-a dezvoltat un model de intimidare din ce în ce mai extins care vizează reducerea la tăcere a jurnaliştilor”. Deputaţii subliniază că încercările de a îngrădi libertatea şi pluralismul mass-mediei trebuie considerate un abuz de putere grav şi sistematic şi o încălcare a valorilor fundamentale ale Uniunii. Deputaţii subliniază că acţiunile voluntare ale platformelor sunt „necesare, însă în continuare insuficiente” pentru a combate dezinformarea, conţinutul ilegal şi interferenţele străine.
