THE National wants to thank all of our supporters after we surpassed 11,000 digital subscribers.  

Editor Callum Baird described the moment, coming just a few months before the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, as “really important”.

Last year with your support we made the “remarkable achievement” of 10,000 subscribers. As part of our 10,000 Steps initiative we were able to hire a video journalist, launch regular supplements and a Unionist Fact Checking service.

With Scotland’s most important election coming up, we have lots more in store and are over the moon to be getting crucial independence news out to an even bigger audience.

At our latest count we have an incredible 11,824 subscribers (including some 800 who have signed up to the print newspaper) helping to spread the truth about Scotland’s place in the Union.

Baird welcomed the news today, commenting: “People are increasingly relying on The National to find out what’s happening in the REAL Scotland.

“The milestone of 11,000 digital subscribers – before indyref2 has even properly kicked off – is really important to us. The more people who sign up to support us the more influence we can have over the next campaign.

“We have a huge new initiative kicking off next week as well, and we can’t wait to share the news with you.”

Keep your eyes open for news on that initiative – we’re very excited about it and looking forward to getting everyone involved.
