IGM (Istitut Gurnalisti Maltin) is Malta’s foremost representative body for journalists and holds an annual award ceremony, where the best contributions penned or transmitted during the previous year, within 18 different categories, are acknowledged.
Prof. Azzopardi won the Category – broadcast journalism, ‘human story’ category, Prof. Deidun won the Environmental Journalism Award and the Opinion Piece Award, whilst Dr. Cremona won the Broadcast Journalism (Radio Current Affairs). All three academics are not new to these awards since they have received recognition for their long-standing journalistic work on numerous previous occasions at the same Awards.
