The Independent

The Independent is a British compact newspaper published by Tony O'Reilly's Independent News & Media. It is nicknamed the Indie, with the Sunday edition being the Sindie. Launched in 1986, it is the youngest of the UK's national daily newspapers, with a circulation of around 250,000 in 2004. Whilst the paper seems to genuinely try and represent contrasting political opinions, it has run recent campaigns for electoral reform and environmental issues and against ID cards, and the paper's politics are probably closest to those of Liberal Democrats. The Independent was named National Newspaper of the Year at the British Press Awards 2004.
