Will Archbishop Scicluna issue a statement addressing the concerns raised by Paul Bonello?
I am sharing a post in which Paul Bonello criticises the Church’s media arm for what he perceives as selective reporting and possible conflicts of interest involving individuals linked to Church media. Bonello questions the relationship between Church leadership and media professionals who hold or have held private communications and public relations roles.
In the past, when this site published articles about Archbishop Scicluna, the Curia reacted swiftly with official statements denying the claims, such as those regarding his alleged association with Opus Dei or the links between Church tribunals and specific public figures. However, when similar points were raised by other media outlets, particularly those aligned with political interests, the Church remained silent.
The issue now is not personal but institutional: will the Curia maintain the same standard of transparency and public clarification when questions arise from different sources, or will it respond selectively depending on who raises them?
I refer to your post.
I re-affirm in the most categorical of manners that ARIADENNE MASSA is a Director of BEACON GROUP LTD, operator of RTK RADIO and NEWSBOOK.
She became a Director of Beacon on 1st March 2024 when she played musical chairs with STEVE MALLIA (previous editor of Times Malta) who resigned on same day.
STEVE MALLIA and ARIADNE MASSA are in business together and run MEDIA INSIDERS.
MEDIA INSIDERS has been contracted by CREDIABANK as the PR and Communications channel of Credia Bank whilst it is in the process of taking over HSBC BANK MALTA PLC.
It so happened that on the 2nd occasion I was criticising Credia Bank on 17th September on my fortnightly financial journalism slot on Christine Delicata’s morning programme GHAL KULHADD, I was obstructed, gagged and censored and impeded from mentioning the Credia Bank transaction and other public interest companies, and eventually had my guest invitation terminated by BEACON GROUP.
Anyone prepared to challenge the above (and consenting a priori to my producing documents without complaining that such documents will reveal their ID Card and address proving all above) is welcome.
