Standard Publications Limited and IDEA Intelligence have signed an agreement to develop and administer periodic national surveys on politics, current affairs and other subjects of public interest.
Standard Publications is the publisher of The Malta Independent on Sunday, The Malta Independent (daily), The Malta Business Weekly and www.independent.com.mt
IDEA Intelligence is a data-driven business intelligence wing of the IDEA Group that aims to deliver thorough quantitative insights and information through sophisticated data.
The agreement was signed by Noel Azzopardi, managing director of Standard Publications Limited, and Silvio De Bono, managing director of IDEA Group.
Through the agreement, IDEA Intelligence will be carrying out surveys on a regular basis to provide a snapshot of what people living in Malta are thinking on matters pertaining to politics and other topics that would be on the public agenda from time to time. The results of these surveys will then be published on The Malta Independent platforms, including online.
Statisticians at IDEA and journalists at Standard Publications will be working together to analyse the data gathered from the surveys and present them in news reports and graphics.
Surveys are planned to be held every month, with the first to be published in August.
