The 'i' is capitalized. The multinational corporate conglomerate that owns them is called Independent Journalism.

Joke, the actual company that owns them is Gannett.

Whenever anything is advertised as "independent", always ask "independent of what / whom?"

Today, Gannett publishes USA TODAY along with hundreds of local media outlets across the United States, and over 150 news brands in the United Kingdom.

...the national newspaper USA Today, as well as several local newspapers, including the Austin American-Statesman; Detroit Free Press; The Indianapolis Star; The Cincinnati Enquirer; The Columbus Dispatch; The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville, Florida; The Tallahassee Democrat in Tallahassee, Florida; The Tennessean in Nashville, Tennessee; The Daily News Journal, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee; The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky; the Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, New York; The Des Moines Register; the El Paso Times; The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, Arizona; The News-Press in Fort Myers, Florida; the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; the Argus Leader; the Pueblo Chieftain; and the Great Falls Tribune.

Gannett along with 91 additional Fortune 500 companies had "paid an effective federal tax rate of 0% or less" in 2018 as a result of Donald Trump´s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
