Description
The Maltese Newspapers and the Second World War
The Front Page on the Front Line is an analysis of the active role of the Maltese newspapers in the Second World War, an angle that has been overlooked throughout the years.
It is a testament to the resilience and devotion to duty of the newspaper staff who, as Mabel Strickland, the editor of the Times of Malta, put it, “we had the front line at the front door and on the front page”.
This book presents the first ever in-depth analysis of the role of Maltese newspapers in wartime propaganda.
