Honored for probing Malta’s youth-sports system through investigative sports reporting
Kyle Patrick Camilleri, a journalist at The Malta Independent (TMI), has been awarded the Sports Journalism Award at the 2025 Malta Journalism Awards, announced on 19 October 2025.
The award recognized his article titled “Are Maltese youth sports models flawed?”, published 1 June 2025, which critically explored whether Malta’s youth-sport infrastructure is fulfilling its purpose and highlighted systemic challenges in athlete development and support.
Within the competitive landscape of national journalism, Camilleri’s entry stood out for bridging sports coverage with broader societal issues—shifting from match-reporting to investigative analysis of policy, infrastructure, and youth welfare.
TMI further distinguished itself as Camilleri’s colleagues secured second and third place in other categories—namely, Albert Galea, Semira Abbas Shalan, and Domenic Aquilina—underscoring the newsroom’s strong showing across the awards.
Congratulations to Kyle Patrick Camilleri on this well-deserved recognition and to The Malta Independent for championing journalism that dives beneath the surface.
