Yes, unfortunately. "The Independent" isn't a newspaper anymore- the print version was shut down in 2016, and most of the staff were laid off.
The "i" has replaced it in print (highbrow tabloid)- independent.co.uk has been reduced to a website that drives traffic towards itself largely through clickbait/tabloid-style reporting.
It's still on a different level to dreck like the Daily Mail, but it's long since slipped from its old status as a respected broadsheet.
