The Independent was published in 1986 and is one of the youngest UK national daily newspapers. It used to be a broadsheet however since 2003 it has been established as a tabloid newspaper. The founders were Andreas Whittam Smith, Stephen Glover and Matthew Symonds, three former editors of the Daily Telegraph. The market was very limited, as The Independent 1990 also has its own Sunday edition published.
It was established because in the olden days there were no moderen technologies in order for people to hear the latest news from e.g. murders, crime, cahnges to the government etc, it kept people in touch with the changes that were taking place in the world, therefore it was established to inform people to what was going on in the society they were living in.
Also it was in order to campaign and cover topics under economic issues as not many newspapers do that, most of them cover issues that are non political. Therefore its useful to find out about the political news from it for those who are interested.
