Independent circulation
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE LATEST newspaper circulation figures, released yesterday, reveal further success for The Independent. Audited sales for the month of June show The Independent's daily sale at 225,516, a rise of almost 1,000 copies on the same period last year. The Independent is the only broadsheet newspaper to show a year-on-year increase, and this is the sixth successive month that the newspaper's circulation has grown.
The Independent's rise bucks the trend of the total broadsheet market, which was down 1.5 per cent. It was a particularly bad month for The Daily Telegraph, which recorded its lowest total of full-price sales since records began. These figures complete a devastating week for the Telegraph after the Press Complaints Commission censured the paper for paying Victoria Aitken, daughter of the jailed former cabinet minister, to write about her father. A senior industry figure said last night: "It will be difficult for the Telegraph to take the high moral ground again, having been found guilty by the industry of paying the daughter of a common criminal."
