We have reached the 100
W
ith this issue, The Voice of the Maltese has reached an important milestone. It is the 100th edition of the magazine that has grown from the humble beginnings of a four-page newsletter mailed to a few hundreds into this bumper 24-page online magazine sent and read by well over 15,000. The 100th issue of a publication is normally the make or break stage. For us it is the making stage. Our enthusiasm for this publication grows with each issue thanks mainly to the feedback from our readers who not only read it themselves but also share it with others, either by emailing it on or printing
copies to hand to friends or relatives not familiar with the Internet. The Voice of the Maltese was initially established to cater for the Maltese-Australians, but it has grown beyond our expectations. It is now emailed around the world, not only to communities and individuals forming part of the Maltese diaspora, particularly in Canada, UK and USA, but also to Malta, and readers of other nationalities who are interested in Malta. The Voice is produced by Joseph Cutajar (left) and Lawrence Dimech
