UK Independent Turns to US for Digital-Only Future

Guardian: The UK Independent plans to ramp up its presence in the US as it becomes the latest news publisher to look across the Atlantic to drive revenue and readership. After the publisher imposed brutal staff cuts following the closure of the print editions in March, it boosted Independent.co.uk’s editorial operation from a core team of about 50 to about 90, creating about 25 new roles in the UK.  It is now following in the footsteps of Mail Online, the Guardian and to a lesser extent the Mirror in seeking US growth.
