Mirror group reaches record profits
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.Mirror Group, which has a 46.4 per cent stake in Newspaper Publishing, owner of The Independent, yesterday posted record profits of pounds 82.2m for 1996, up 6.6 per cent. Operating losses at The Independent and its sister title, the Independent on Sunday, were cut by 43 per cent while revenue rose almost 13 per cent.
Mirror Group said The Independent's losses were at least half those of the Guardian and its Sunday stablemate, the Observer.
Analysts reckon that the Guardian/Observer racked up losses of about pounds 11m last year. Patrick Tooher
