The Independent
Former Sunday Times editor Andreas Whittam Smith launched the British online publication The Independent in 1986. The Independent is a liberally inclined newspaper that emphasizes investigative reporting and in-depth reporting. Independent Print Ltd., a business held by a trust, is the owner of the website. This indicates that the publication is independent of commercial influence and not owned by a business.
The business news section is renowned for having a strong editorial stance. Its editors don't hesitate to stand up to big interests and speak the truth. As a result, The Independent is now widely regarded as a reliable source of news.
As a result, The Independent has received several accolades for its work. The Independent won the AOP Digital Publishing Award for Best Use of Social Media, the Online Media Award for National News Site of the Year, and the Business Journalist of the Year Award for Best Communicator in 2022. The newspaper has also received numerous honors for its investigative reporting, including the Gerald Loeb Award for International Business Reporting in 2019 and the Paul Foot Award for Investigative Journalism in 2018.
