On behalf of the Institute of Maltese Journalists (IĠM) I extend our congratulations to Malta News Agency (MNA) on its establishment.

 
In a world that is ever more connected, messages may be fragmented but authoritative local sources are few and far between. We trust that MNA will faithfully represent the events in Malta and Gozo that are of international interest, reporting without fear or favour for the benefit of its audience – readers, viewers and listeners around the world.

 
The Institute also expects the team at MNA to report to the highest ethical standards, as laid down in the Code of Journalism Ethics, to ensure that trust is built over time in the way that the local scene is covered.

 
Best of luck as you build your local network and disseminate your services beyond our shores.

Malcolm J Naudi
Chairman
