The Malta Press Club has been accepted as an associate member of the International Federation of Journalists which represents over 500,000 journalists in more than 100 countries.

The decision to admit TMPC to the world's largest organisation of journalists, taken during the meeting of the IFJ executive committee in Delhi, India last month, was communicated to the TMPC on Thursday.

TMPC education and information secretary Charlot Zahra submitted the application for membership of the IFJ at the federation's headquarters in Brussels in October.

Mr Zahra said membership of the IFJ would bring various benefits to TMPC members, including the issuing of the international press card, a professional accreditation known and respected all over the world. Moreover, in virtue of its membership in the IFJ, TMPC will also be admitted to the European Federation of Journalists, the regional branch of the IFJ for Europe.

TMPC chairman Malcolm J. Naudi said: "This will also enable The Malta Press Club to offer more services to member journalists in Malta. Moreover, through admission to the IFJ, Maltese journalists will be acquiring a strong voice in Europe as well at this particular time for Malta".
