MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN MALTA

With a bilingual press tradition shaped by British colonial history and deep-rooted institutional ties, the island nation supports an unusually high number of daily publications for its size. Leading the market is Times of Malta, an English-language daily founded in 1935 by Allied Newspapers. Other major titles include L-Orizzont, a Maltese-language daily published by the General Workers' Union, and In-Nazzjon, directly owned by the Nationalist Party. The Malta Independent and Malta Today operate as prominent English-language alternatives. Print media is heavily split across these two official languages, reflecting the deeply bilingual nature of the local readership.
