The Independent

The Independent has been at the front line of journalism since its launch in 1986. It is regularly the UK’s largest digital news brand and a top five news publisher in the US, and was the first of the quality news titles to become fully digital (in 2016). Publishing from 12 countries and in six languages, and with a network of global correspondents, The Independent is a truly international news organisation.

When it was established 40 years ago, The Independent’s purpose – to think for itself, encourage readers to do the same, stay away from pacts with political parties, and spark surprising, intelligent debate – was way ahead of its time.

It has continued to campaign for what it believes in, not what it is told to believe, with integrity, inclusion, innovation and independence as its guiding principles.

The news brand has grown a huge, global readership of independently minded individuals, who value its trusted voice and commitment to positive change.
