GOING DOWN: Reed International
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.REED ELSEVIER, the publishing group, saw its shares fall 17 per cent after it said profit growth this year will be slow because of weaker sales in its scientific and business publications and increased spending on electronic publishing. There was also some disappointment in the City that the company didn't name a new chief executive, saying the search, which began in August, is at "an advanced stage".
"Most people are willing to accept the pain of its strategy, but the fact that there is no CEO gives the impression there's a bit of strategic drift at the company," said Brendan Hoey, an analyst at Paribas Capital Markets. The company said it could spend up to pounds 2bn this year on acquisitions.
