Since The Independent’s launch in 1986, it has campaigned for what it believes in, not what it is told to believe. It has grown a huge, global readership of independently minded individuals, who value its trusted voice and commitment to positive change.
The Independent’s core values – independent, inclusive and innovative – ensure that it is making change happen in all that it does.
Independent
Nobody tells us what to think; we make up our own mind and aren’t afraid to do things differently. Like our readers, we value honesty and integrity above outside influences.
Inclusive
We champion diversity, in our teams and in our reporting. Working as a team, we put transparency and effective communication at the heart of everything we do.
Innovative
From the very beginning, The Independent has been breaking the mould. We take risks and are always looking to try new ideas in pursuit of excellence.
