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 on Sunday rose by 18.9 per cent in April, taking circulation to 168,151, according to the latest audited circulation figures for national newspapers. The month-on-month increase is the highest in the market.
The IoS shows year-on-year growth of 1.9 per cent, the only quality or mid-market newspaper – daily or Sunday – to post any annual gain. That rise compares with falls of 7.1 per cent at The Sunday Times, 21.3 per cent at The Observer and 10.8 per cent at The Sunday Telegraph.
Sales of our sister paper, The Independent, also showed a strong increase, of 5.2 per cent over the month, taking the daily circulation to 188,119. Its increase was the highest in its market.
Today, The IoS embarks on some design changes to freshen up the paper. There is a new front-page masthead and the index boxes on pages 2 and 103 have also been updated. Over the next few weeks, we will roll out further similar alterations, but, rest assured, all features remain exactly where they are now.
John Mullin, the editor of The Independent on Sunday, said: "We are extremely grateful to all our readers, long-standing and new, for their support. We will try our hardest to retain it."
