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 figures show that The Independent's average sale over the past six months stands at 260,781, an increase of 0.3 per cent on the same period last year.
The Independent and The Times are the only two national daily newspapers to record increases in their six-month averages. Ivan Fallon, the chief executive of Independent News and Media UK, said: "The six-monthly average sale reinforces our strong belief that The Independent continues to be leading the evolution in quality newspapers in the UK. The recent return of the Bridget Jones column to our paper has seen further strong sales growth."
Sales of The Independent in July were 255,603, down 2.5 per cent on the same period last year, when the paper was heavily supported by CD and restaurant promotions. The Guardian recorded anABC figure of 358,345, a fall of 3.4 per cent year-on-year. Its UK news trade figure (excluding bulk and foreign sales) represented the newspaper's 28th consecutive month of decline and comes before the imminent relaunch of The Guardian in a smaller format.
The Independent on Sunday has remained steady with a circulation of 206,689, up 0.3 per cent on the previous month.
