Southern Newspapers celebrate success
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.Southern Newspapers' chief executive James Sexton (right) and Colin Rowley, finance director, celebrating the group's first year on the Alternative Investment Market with a 62 per cent rise in annual profits to pounds 18.8m. Stripping out a pounds 7.45m profit on the sale of premises as part of the relocation of the Southern Daily Echo and other Southampton-based weekly titles, operating profits only edged ahead, however. The group said the current year would see the virtual completion of plans to rationalise newspaper printing operations, although the full benefits will not come through until next year. The group is raising the dividend by 15 per cent to 17.75p.
