## About

Times of Malta has outlasted every government, scandal and rival on its island since 1935. It covers national politics, courts and money with the measured authority of a paper of record, even when the courtroom in question involves its own former executive. The result is a curious paradox: an outlet rated among the least biased in its field, yet widely read as the establishment's steady, conservative voice.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Published by Allied Newspapers Limited, whose majority shareholder is the Strickland Foundation, a charitable trust set up by Mabel Strickland in 1979.
- **Funding:** Advertising and subscriptions; website content has been free to access since 2016.
- **Focus areas:** National politics, courts and crime, business and finance, European affairs, local news, and opinion.


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
