From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

High-quality work was in high demand at this year's Art Basel Miami Beach.

Approximately 42,000 visitors attended the eighth edition of Art Basel Miami Beach that was held from December 3 to 6 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in the USA.

More than 250 galleries were represented at the major art event that included a program of special exhibitions, panel discussions, performances and satellite events.

Organizers reported steady sales throughout the week, with buyers showing a special interest in high-quality works.

David Zwirner, David Zwirner Gallery, New York commented, "This was a surprisingly strong show. The show certainly confirmed the trend that started at Art Basel in June. This art market is stabilizing and gaining momentum. During the last twelve months, most business was conducted with established collectors. Here in Miami, it was nice to see some altogether new faces. While most business took place below one million dollars, there were also trades above that figure."
