Toxic Relationships, Porn, And Tinder: The She Word - Young Women's Edition Uncovers New Realities
Season one of The She Word – Young Women’s Edition just keeps on bringing the hits, with a bangin’ (excuse the pun), extended-length fifth episode: Young Women, Dating and Sex. This episode features a fascinating, rare conversation led by Lovin Malta’s journalist and podcast host Sasha Vella and three women who respectively brought their own varied experiences with relationships, dating and sex, to the table. “Today we have Chelsea Bagnall, one of the winners of the recently aired Love Island Ma
'We Can Choose To Make Malta Green' - Vibrant Exhibition Foregrounds Environmental Struggle
A collection of recent paintings by Rune Bo Jakobsen – Green City – will be hosting its opening at 7pm tonight, for display throughout August at the Phonecia’s Palm Court Lounge. The artist’s urgent, central message, expressed in this exhibition, is elegant in its simplicity, and seeks to inspire hope: “We can choose to make Malta green”. “I’ve been in Malta since 2002,” Rune told Lovin Malta. As an architect, Rune helped develop a design for Dock 1 – a beautiful development which has become a g
Press Freedom NGOs: Malta's Anti-SLAPP Proposals Are Unambitious And Inefficient
Malta has the most SLAPP lawsuits per capita in the European Union. Article 19 Europe is urging the Committee of Experts on Media to “take further steps to fulfil its international human rights obligations and fully protect and promote a safe media environment in Malta”.
“We express our ongoing concern about the lack of transparency regarding the implementation of the recommendations of the Public Inquiry,” began a joined statement by Article 19 Europe, the Committee to Protect Journalists, the

'You Just Don't Care': Patricia Graham Demands Prime Minister Intervenes To Treat TCNs Fairly
Patricia Graham, a citizen campaigner and advocate on behalf of the rights of third-country nationals, has sent an open letter urging Prime Minister Robert Abela to confront the scourge of employers failing to register their employees with Jobsplus. “When an employer fails to register an employee with Jobsplus, and the employee makes an application to ID Malta for a change of employer, the period of time they have remained unregistered flags them as ‘irregular immigrants’ – even though they have

Watch: Peeling Back The Pavaljuni - Enter The World Of Malta's Devoted Festa Decorators
Every year, local feasts across the archipelago’s villages transform typical Maltese scenes into breathtakingly vibrant streetscapes, in celebration of tradition, local pride, and immense, wide-spread joy. But what goes on behind the scenes, when devotion meets obsession and tradition? “The Festa is a stamp unique to the Maltese islands,” said painter Manuel Farrugia. “Without them, this would be like Ibiza, all about the beaches.”

Watch: How Does A Life On Social Media Affect Young Women? Find Out On The She Word
The fourth episode of The She Word – Young Women’s Edition just dropped, featuring fascinating, in-depth conversations between Hailey Borg, Madeleine Baldacchino, Taryn Mamo Cefai and the show’s host, Sasha Vella. “Did you know that according to recent studies, nearly 90% of young women aged 18 to 29 use social media platforms regularly – by which I mean, on a daily basis, often hours, every day,” began Sasha to open the show. This episode is entitled: “Young Women, Social Media and Influence”.
Annual Growth Up In June Compared To May - Will July's Power Cuts Curb This Month's Gains?
According to the Central Bank of Malta’s most recent economic update, “in June, annual growth in business activity edged up slightly compared to the previous month”. This update came just one day after the PN released calculations which found that the government’s absolute failure to prepare Malta’s energy infrastructure for predictably high summer temperatures, plunging thousands into powerless darkness caused Malta’s economy to lose out on €200 million. The CBM’s update seems to show that busi
A Matter Of Time: Will The Mediterranean Become Too Hot For Tourism?
Malta is going to get worse, in so many ways, before it gets better. Whether that damage will be reparable or not depends on how much longer this all holds together.
I'm not proud of the part of me which would welcome a time when Malta is shocked because tourists stop visiting. I'm not proud of that because economic shocks cause pain.
I don't want to be the one to say that such pain is necessary to provoke meaningful action.

Concrete Climate And Energy Grid Action? Malta Doubles Electricity Distribution Investment
Following the power cut fiascos from recent weeks, Prime Minister Robert Abela told a meeting of the Malta Council for Economic and Social Development that the state has doubled its investment in the system of electricity distribution. This will be one prong in the government’s approach toward confronting climate change through a thorough economic transition. “This is a transition which needs to be based on ensuring quality, encouraged by a society with respect for one-another acting in a discip
