What is Spunt?
Spunt is an independent group dedicated to analysing the big issues in society and public life, and providing fresh perspectives to the public debate. In a country with too much noise and not enough thinking, Spunt tries to give context and shed new light on what is going on around us. Our writers tackle Maltese and international current affairs, economics, politics and historical issues, often exploring how these intersect and overlap. We do not seek to report the news but rather help explain how we got here and where we may be heading next. Spunt goes beyond the headlines.
Editorial Style & Audience
Spunt emphasizes deep dives and explanatory content, often unpacking public policy topics with a focus on clarity. Content is tailored for readers who want to understand underlying economic and political frameworks, rather than just headlines. To explain it better, we won’t report every change tourism or inflation figures, but we may examine what’s driving trends, how economic policy responds, and what it means for households and businesses in the long run.
