The investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia paid the
highest price for exposing corruption to the highest levels of
government in Malta - She was murdered four years ago, on October
16 in 2017 in broad daylight. Caroline Muscat, one of her close
friends, was one of the first people at the crime scene. She
continued Galizia’s investigations to send out a message: Even if
you kill a journalist, the stories will not be silenced. Muscat
wants to ensure that “such a horrible act results in something
positive”, like she puts it. Yet, the toxic atmosphere in Malta has
not changed to this day: Critical journalists still see themselves
confronted with a climate of hatred caused by leading political
forces and their army of internet trolls. Also taking part in the
podcast is Rebecca Vincent, RSF Director of International
Campaigns. She has been on the ground in Malta from the beginning
to fight for full criminal justice in the case and for the
protection of journalists. Caroline Muscat was in Berlin as part of
an RSF scholarship.
