The Independent is a British online newspaper, often nicknamed the Indy. It was established in 1986 as a national morning printed paper, beginning as a broadsheet and changing to compact format in 2003. The last printed edition was published on Saturday 26 March 2016, leaving only the online edition. The Independent is generally described as centrist, centre-left, and liberal-left. When the paper was established in 1986, the founders intended its political stance to reflect the centre of the British political spectrum and thought that it would attract readers primarily from The Times and The Daily Telegraph. It has been seen as leaning to the left wing of the political spectrum, making it more a competitor to The Guardian; however, The Independent tends to take a liberal, pro-market stance on economic issues.
