MaltaToday

MaltaToday is generally regarded as left-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of Malta's press. In Malta, Times of Malta and The Malta Independent are listed as Centrist, while Net News is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open MaltaToday beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read MaltaToday beside another title from Malta and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Malta covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are MaltaToday's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because MaltaToday is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from Malta on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
