Times of Malta & The Sunday Times of Malta
Times of Malta started out as an English-language weekly supplement to Il Progress. It morphed into a daily newspaper on August 7, 1935 and was swiftly followed by The Sunday Times of Malta. In no time, both mastheads established themselves as market leaders, earning the distinction of national institutions.
These two newspapers are fronted by Malta’s largest newsroom, comprising journalists, videographers, photographers, and designers, led by our Editor-in-Chief. Published in English on a daily basis, the newspapers concentrate on bringing local and international news to the Maltese public, with special attention being given to social, environmental, and cultural issues with a focus on credibility for all coverages.
timesofmalta.com
In the year 2000, Allied Newspapers Limited launched its online website, www.timesofmalta.com. It was the first media house to do so in Malta. At its start, it presented an e-version of the newspaper and ensured the Company’s presence online. Furthermore, we were the first locally to realise that there was a need for an online social network, giving users the possibility to post comments online in response to articles.
Timesofmalta.com then entered into its second iteration, the generation of specific content for the website which could then feed the newspaper, rather than the other way around. Nowadays, we can generate and cope with 22.5 million page views per month and it is clear that we provide a crucial service to the country, consolidating our presence as the main news portal on the island. We are now the most followed and used website in Malta, beating the likes of Google, Facebook and YouTube.
Pink
For the past 10 years, Times of Malta has published Pink, Malta’s leading women’s magazine. It has established itself as a brand of its own, enjoying a healthy readership that is made up of women and men of all ages and from all walks of life, who enjoy various aspects of the magazine. These include in-depth features and human stories that normally treat women’s issues and have women as their subjects, but which always offer insight into broader situations one can face and how one can resolve them. The magazine also enjoys a light-hearted side and is big on fashion, carving a strong niche in this scene over the years, with photoshoots and other features. Furthermore, the brand expanded to fashion shows with the first one being held in November 2013. These shows are always a big hit with the fashion-loving public and play to record-breaking audiences. The Pink brand also organises other events with a focus on women.
Pink magazine also makes sure to have a healthy dosage of history and culture, with a female and educational slant. Beauty, health and fitness, horoscopes, psychology, homes, food and books are regulars that readers look out for on a monthly basis to keep a breast with what is going on locally and abroad.
