Sales rise for The Independent
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.Sales of The Independent have increased by 5.2 per cent over the past month, according to the latest audited circulation figures for national newspapers, taking the daily circulation of the paper to 188,119. The increase is the highest in the entire national newspaper market.
This performance, which follows the redesign of the newspaper, covers the period of the general election campaign, during which time more than three million copies of a limited-edition sampler of The Independent were distributed free of charge in selected areas of Britain.
Sales of The Independent on Sunday for the same April period increased by 18.9 per cent, by some distance the best performance of any Sunday newspaper. “This has been a tremendously exciting period for the paper,” said Simon Kelner, editor-in-chief of The Independent. “We were the first newspaper fully to embrace the idea of coalition politics, our campaign for voting reform has finally borne fruit, and our unrivalled team of commentators and correspondents has set the agenda throughout the campaign and beyond. I would like to thank all our readers, old and new, for their support.”
