Nicky Mamo:

Journalism is not a profession. It has no barriers to entry – unlike law. Even if there were a code of ethics for journalists, it would be ineffectual because there is no governing body that decides whom to appoint as a journalist and whom to dismiss.

The only people who can act as a check on the behaviour of journalists are other journalists.

persons from discussing, in their presence cases that are sub judice.

Article 25 of the code of ethics for members of the judiciary:

“Members of the Judiciary shall not, whether in their private or public life, act in such manner as might imply political partiality.”

Have we reduced the law to a bag of liquorice All Sorts where you can take the ones you like and leave the rest?

Is that not the same Toni Abela who was appointed by Saviour Balzan to be his lawyer in a case against PBS after information of public interest about Reporter was published in Parliament? (The Times, Sunday, 12 July 2009)
