The Independent on Sunday ran its final print edition today featuring a poignant picture of Shanghai during Earth Hour.

Landmarks across the World including The Palace of Westminster, Buckingham Palace, The Shard and The Ritz hotel in London tuned off their lights for an hour between 8.30pm and 9.30pm local time on Saturday. Some 10.4 million people also joined in with the global blackout, which now includes 178 countries worldwide.

And as prominent buildings vanished into the night, so did a prominent newspaper title. After 25 years, the final print edition of the Independent On Sunday was published today. The front page featured a striking image of Shanghai with parts of ‘The Independent’ dimmed to spell ‘The End’.

The editorial recounts the paper’s founding principles of being green, socially and economically liberal and ‘wedded’ to ‘social justice’.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
