The late Joseph Brockdorff, founder of BPC International, has been posthumously awarded the Gold Award by the Institute of Maltese Journalists (IGM). This is the institute’s most prestigious honour, recognising those who have made significant contributions and shown extraordinary commitment in championing journalism in Malta. The judging panel was chaired by President Emeritus George Abela. The Gold Award, sponsored by Tumas Fenech Foundation for Education in Journalism, was presented by President Emeritus Dr Ugo Mifsud Bonnici.

Though ‘JB’, as he was known, was not a journalist, his unswerving support for the institute, his wise counsel and far-sighted strategic input over many years of support were game-changing factors which helped journalism in Malta gain a more professional and sustainable footing. Testament to this was the fact that the award ceremony was the 25th one since its inception.
