From everything I’ve read in today’s papers, it is clear that whoever passed on RTK journalist Sabrina Agius’ emails acted completely unethically, and what is worse, illegally. In light of this I thought I would look up RTK’s mission statement (reproduced below) which it calls: Vision, Mission and Values. It as all very commendable, but somehow it doesn’t sit well with this mental image I have of the alleged office “sneak”.  I’m just saying…

RTK Vision

To sustain and contribute positively towards the betterment of the Christian community and the Maltese society at large.

RTK Mission

To shed Christian light on everyday life and enrich people’s lives by informing, educating, entertaining and connecting with them through programmes that deliver well-balanced news reflecting the truth, inspiring knowledge-building discussion programmes, religious programmes, magazine programmes and general format entertainment shows.

RTK Values

• Audiences are at the centre of whatever we do. We strive to connect their voices.
• Our people are our most important resource. We see each individual as a contributor to the value of the organisation and its audiences.
• All our activities are based on impartiality, integrity and honesty.
• Social responsibility remains high on our agenda
• Investor value remains the objective for the company’s existence

Investors Values

•  RTK is backed by the Archdiocese of Malta, represented by Fr. Charles Tabone O.P., the Archbishop’s delegate for social communications.
•  The principal investor in the company reaffirms that broadcasting media should be:
• A catalyst conducive towards building stronger communities respecting differences that exist within them
• A medium that brings together in one brotherhood, people from all nations and creeds
• A network of communication that strengthens bonds between people, respecting different cultures and respecting human dignity
• A forum that promotes the good, through dialogue and debate about different theories and opinions
• A medium that ensures that nobody is excluded from the holistic development of mankind, rather than only from an economic perspective
• A medium that gives a voice to all
