Speaker Anġlu Farrugia wants to discuss the ethical behaviour of journalists and MPs to ensure reports on parliamentary debates are correct.
Insisting that democracy remained “alive” as long as journalists worked “serenely and honestly”, Dr Farrugia called on Parliament and the Institute of Maltese Journalists to discuss ethical standards.
Addressing former MPs and journalists, Dr Farrugia said journalists had an important role to play, since Parliament’s work was judged given information from the media.
