About The Independent
The Independent is a UK-based online news publication that publishes breaking news, commentary and features. Its homepage covers UK politics, international news, sport, culture, lifestyle and reviews, with sections labelled for Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the US. The directory lists an Asia edition, but the homepage excerpt shows mainly UK and general international coverage.
Some articles are marked as "Member exclusive", and sponsored content appears on the homepage. The excerpt is a partial snapshot of headlines, so it does not show the full range of the site.
