What's new in Melitensia
Melitensia's book of the month – June 2026
90 Sena Vuċijiet u Identità: Memorji tax-Xandir Pubbliku [90 Years of Voices and Identity: Memories of Public Broadcasting] written by Sergio Grech; published by 4sight.
Illustrated with photographs, this book documents the history and development of public broadcasting in Malta, from the creation of Rediffusion Malta in 1935 to today’s era of digital broadcasting.
As both a historical document and a commemorative album, this book explores the evolution of radio and television in Malta; it also includes the experiences of veteran broadcasters and media personalities who shaped the industry, and presents key memories associated with the Public Broadcasting Services (PBS).
At the launch in February, the book was described as a tribute to the presenters, journalists, technicians, and many other media professionals whose dedication and work were instrumental in the development of Maltese broadcasting over the last ninety years.
The list of new Melitensia acquisitions is available online.
