Times of Malta was founded in 1935 by Lord Gerald Strickland, his wife Lady Strickland and daughter Mabel as an English-language daily newspaper. It is the oldest daily newspaper in Malta still in circulation and its website, timesofmalta.com, is the country’s most visited news site.

Times of Malta and its sister publication, The Sunday Times of Malta, are published by Allied Newspapers. The company’s majority shareholder is the Strickland Foundation.

The foundation was established in 1979 by Mabel Strickland. It is a charitable trust tasked with promoting democratic principles, human rights and a free press, upholding Malta’s European character, and helping to improve the standard of Maltese journalism.
