Is Times of Malta left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Times of Malta as Center within Malta's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side. In Malta, MaltaToday and Lovin Malta are listed as Left-leaning, while Net News is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Times of Malta beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Times of Malta 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 Times of Malta's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Times of Malta is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Malta either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
