MaltaToday founder Saviour Balzan has relinquished his role as managerial editor, to take up his position as executive director of Mediatoday.
Matthew Vella, executive editor of MaltaToday, will retain responsibility for all editorial matters, newsroom management, and news strategy at the newspaper.
“After founding Mediatoday 21 years ago, I feel it is right to focus entirely on business development, and see the company through the next years,” Balzan said.
“My passion remains good journalism, but I have now disengaged from editorial management and its titles. Matthew Vella is the right person at the right time to uphold the ethos of MediaToday’s editorial policy and steward it in this digital age and fast-moving industry.”
