Your support helps us to tell the story
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.A lot of my stuff stems from when I was very young indeed and very unformed. So, when somebody says, 'I don't know how to love Andrew Lloyd Webber's music, it's derivative', yes, of course it is. I wrote it when I had no idea. Today I mightn't let that thing past the starting gate.
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber,

What they really want is a red- nosed clown with a physics degree.

It's very depressing. It's the triumph of sleaze and salesmanship over quality. The idea of the editor of Vanity Fair being made editor of the New Yorker is like moving Trump Tower to the middle of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
Rick MacArthur, publisher of Harper's magazine, Sunday Times
That was the ultimate.

Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
