Newspaper subscribers turning 80 with the Times of Malta this year will receive a special memento to mark the occasion. The newspaper will be gifting these loyal readers with a ceramic statuette of the first-ever edition of the newspaper, printed on August 7, 1935. Renowned artist Paul Haber said the inspiration behind the piece had come from his time as an art student in the UK, where he experimented with combining newspaper print and ceramics. The statuette is a celebration of the Times of Malta’s heritage of providing reliable news and entertainment to its readers.
