As Malta is a multilingual country, the use of Maltese in the mass media is shared with other European languages, namely [[English language|English]] and [[Italian language|Italian]]. The majority of television stations broadcast from Malta in English or Maltese, although broadcasts from [[Italy]] in Italian are also received on the islands. Similarly, there are more Maltese-language radio programs than English ones broadcast from Malta, but again, Italian broadcasts are also picked up. Coverage in newspaper periodicals is generally equally split between Maltese and English.

Maltese is little used on the internet and few websites are written in the language. In a survey of Maltese cultural websites conducted in 2004 on behalf of the Maltese government, 12 of 13 were in English only and the remaining one was multilingual but did not include Maltese.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mek.oszk.hu/minerva/html/dok/malta.doc |title=Country report for MINERVA Plus in 2005 |work=Multilingual issues in Malta |access-date=2008-02-24 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080227064644/http://mek.oszk.hu/minerva/html/dok/malta.doc |archive-date=2008-02-27}}</ref> In 2011, only 6.5 per cent of Maltese internet users reported employing Maltese online, which may be a consequence of the lack of online support for the language.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Camilleri |first=Ivan |date=May 16, 2011 |title=Maltese language hardly used on the internet |url=https://timesofmalta.com/articles/view/Maltese-language-hardly-used-on-the-internet.365554 |access-date=2023-03-23 |website=Times of Malta |language=en-gb |archive-date=2023-03-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230323233339/https://timesofmalta.com/articles/view/Maltese-language-hardly-used-on-the-internet.365554 |url-status=live }}</ref>
