Long-time publicist and journalist Godfrey Grima has passed away. In 2017, he was awarded the Medal for Service to the Republic for his services to journalism and communication. Prof. Carmen Sammut, the media academic, said Grima’s loss will be felt in both journalism and public relations. His close relationship with the Malta Labour Party coexisted with his publicity firm’s deep roots in private sector advertising. Grima, brother of the late Labour minister turned broadcaster Joe Grima, was critical of Labour’s authoritarian style in the past and of Dom Mintoff at the time.
