In a bid to encourage more awareness and education on environmental issues, Green Pak Coop Society will once again be supporting the Malta Journalism Awards by sponsoring the environmental journalism category.

Green Pak Coop Society CEO Mario Schembri said: “We believe that the news media in Malta has an essential educational role to perform. Green Pak is carrying on its support for this award as we want to promote deeper and wider media coverage of environmental issues, which have a more significant impact on the social and economic development in a country like Malta.”

Institute of Maltese Journalists chairman Karl Wright said: “The institute established the environmental category in 2009 to give due recognition to journalists who employ environmental journalism to inform and educate. Each submitted portfolio is examined mainly for its newsworthiness: timely work that adds to or encourages debate on current environmental issues; and for its impact that can positively affect or influence the community.”

The Malta Journalism Awards finalists for all categories will be announced on April 4, while the award presentation ceremony will be held on May 7 at The Palace hotel, Sliema.
