About us

The Independent is an online news publisher that was established in 1986 as a national newspaper independent of party political affiliations or proprietorial influence. In 2016, The Independent became a fully digital publisher, moving away from print in pursuit of sustainability, and to safeguard its values and journalism for the future.

The Independent has always thrived through innovation and change. It was the first British newspaper to add a Saturday magazine; the first to give photography the same prestige as a news copy; the first to challenge the Westminster lobby system of closed briefings; the first broadsheet to move to the more compact ‘tabloid’ format; the first to launch a concise quality compact paper; and the first – and only – major newspaper to pull off a successful transformation to fully digital publishing.

Through The Independent, Independent TV, eCommerce, indy100, subscriptions and other ‘reader revenues’, The Independent plans to continue the work of many decades, bringing much-needed independent journalism to over 100 million unique global visitors a month, make its voice ever louder and more insistent the world over.

We have an international editorial team with our main offices in London and New York.

In 2024 The Independent’s portfolio of brands increased through a new licensing partnership with BuzzFeed Inc. to operate the BuzzFeed brands in the UK - BuzzFeed UK, Tasty, Seasoned and HuffPost UK. The additional brands echo the existing business ethos and allow for increased audiences and a further strategic diversification of revenue streams.

We are looking for trained journalists with strong news backgrounds and sound legal knowledge, who have a firm grasp on all aspects of digital publishing.

The ideal candidate will have a track record of reporting on US-focused stories, with a thorough understanding of the differences in language and writing style that come alongside that.

You will be expected to be comfortable managing multiple priorities in a calm and methodical manner, and thrive in a fast-paced newsroom.

The ability to source and verify information independently for publication, as well as understand how best to use agency content, is a must.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. The roles are based at our London newsroom and are full-time, hybrid roles.
