THE INDEPENDENT DIGITAL
ARCHIVE, 1986-2012
The Independent, a major British daily national
newspaper, was launched in 1986 as an antidote
to its often overtly politicized rivals. It is known
for its unabashed editorial stance on such issues
as the legalization of drugs, the war on terrorism,
and environmental issues. The paper has further
distinguished itself with distinctive and innovative
graphic design. Despite its left-centrist social
and political positioning, the paper has featured
a number of columnists from across the political
spectrum and is broadly pro-market on economic
issues.
