The Independent is becoming global, digital – and profitable.
Six years ago my family bought one of the greatest titles in the history of media. It was, however, losing £25m per year. And every day its audience was just over 100,000 readers in print, and under half a million readers online. A lot has changed. We created a new newspaper, i – defying expectation and expensive advice – and invested heavily in our digital products.

'i' sales will be something to keep an eye on (no pun intended). Although I don't read one, I hope they survive for a very long time. But like many things, it will come down to cost and demand.
And on a non serious note, when I was young, vinyl was all there was; so these vinyl fanboys are welcome to go back to the days of LPs, which no matter how carefully you handled them, inevitably ended up with some 'clicks and pops' when you played them. Who'd have thought that music with extra 'clicks and pops' would have commanded a higher price?
