Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief, Guardian News & Media said:
“Six years since we first asked readers to contribute financially to support Guardian journalism, the strategy has been brilliantly successful. It is a tribute to the deep connection we have with readers that so many have chosen to support us without the imposition of a paywall.
“Thank you to Guardian readers around the world for helping to keep our journalism open and available to all, not just those who can afford it.”
