A coalition of media groups, including PEN Malta and the Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation, has asked Prime Minister Robert Abela to consult with the public before enacting new media laws. Elsewhere, the Nationalist Party has secured an urgent court hearing for its constitutional case against the national broadcaster, PBS.
