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 Norwegian appeals court has acquitted the author of The Bookseller of Kabul of breaching the privacy of a woman portrayed in the best-selling book.
The Oslo Appeals Court overturned a lower court's ruling that war correspondent Aasne Seierstad and her publisher Cappelen Damm should pay 125,000 kroner (£11,800) each in damages to Suraia Rais.
Seierstad lived with Ms Rais and her husband, Shah Mohammad, in Kabul in 2002 and published her book about them shortly afterward. The court ruled the details were true and not especially sensitive.
