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.

Latest in a brilliant series of little books that lets you feel like an expert on anyone from Dorothy Parker to Buddha. Shaw couldn't open his mouth without letting drop an aphorism, and all the goodies are here: 'Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same'; 'All great Art and Literature is propaganda'; and, of course, the one about the drama critic leaving no turn unstoned. Read, learn and bore your friends to death.
