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.Net profits at the New York Times Co more than tripled in the fourth quarter, helped by cost-cutting, an improving ad market and lower pension costs.
The publisher of The New York Times, The Boston Globe, the International Herald Tribune and 15 other daily newspapers reported a 14.7 per cent fall in ad revenues compared with a year ago, an improvement on the 26.9 per cent fall seen in the third quarter. Its newspapers saw a 20 per cent ad decline, but internet advertising grew 10.6 per cent after a year of decline. That helped the Times Co earn $90.9m (£58m), or 61c per share. Excluding exceptionals, earnings came in at a better than expected 44c per share.
