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.Roger Alton, editor of The Observer, will be happy with a 9 per cent annual lift, although the sale of 484,357 was down by more than 57,000 (10.6 per cent) on January's re-launch. Almost all Sunday titles saw an annual fall in sales, with The Sunday Telegraph's ABC of 683,741 (down 0.4 per cent year-on-year) giving little ammunition to Sarah Sands supporters who argue that her dismissal last week was unreasonably premature. The Telegraph Group saw headline sales of 901,123 (including 9,000 copies dispatched abroad) but total full-price UK news sales (excluding foreign and bulk sales) are down by 3.2 per cent year-on-year to 795,255.
The Guardian's post-Berliner year-on-year lift is shrinking by the month and is now down to 4.4 per cent. Sales have fallen from 404,187 in September to 382,931 last month, although UK news sales are still 8 per cent up year-on-year. The Independent's sales rose by 3 per cent month-on-month and 0.9 per cent year-on-year, its highest share of the quality market since October 2004.
Circulation of the red-top titles (The Sun, Daily Mirror, Daily Star and Daily Record) continued to fall and is now close toa total daily sale of less than 6 million copies.
