#Ħsibijiet 115- Factchecking in Malta's Mediasphere

It is very unfortunate that Facebook will be ditching fact-checking, thus doing an Elon Musk. X has increasingly become a swamp of poorly verifiable noise and I had to leave the platform after 14 years. 

I think that in this brave new mediasphere, readers have the opportunity and responsibility to to use media platforms which are more likely to give reliable information. In this regard, the Times of Malta has a commendable, fair, measured and objective fact-checking service, and I encourage other Maltese media houses to follow suit.
