Brands.

The Independent has been at the frontline of journalism since 1986, with its mission to challenge and debate always ahead of its time.

The first of the quality news brands to embrace a digital-only future in 2016, The Independent is a brand-safe environment for advertisers to reach a large audience.

The Independent is free-thinking and free of bias in an increasingly fragmented world where communities locally, regionally and across continents are disenfranchised with traditional establishments. They want real facts and frank opinions delivered first-hand from a news source that is ready to stand for something, not everything.

As told by Editor, Christian Broughton: "The Independent is about more than just news - it's a value system...our time is now!"
