Independent Newspapers are owned by a unique trust that enables us to pursue a mission of journalistic service to the citizens of the community we serve.

Since no dividends are paid, the company is able to thrive on profit margins below industry standards. All after-tax surpluses are reinvested in Independent’s mission of journalistic service, commitment to the ideals of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and support of the community’s deliberation of public issues.
