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.

Odd Jobs by John Updike, Penguin pounds 12.99. Updike is as prolific a reviewer as he is a novelist, and his subjects, in this relaxed and rapturous sequence of critical essays, range all the way from St Matthew to Marquez.

Tchaikovsky: To the Crisis & The Years of Fame by David Brown, Gollancz pounds 12.99 each. One of the most detailed and devoted studies of the composer ever written, now compacted from four volumes to two.

Revolution from Within by Gloria Steinem, Corgi pounds 5.99. A shrewd and literate investigation into self-esteem, its moral worth and implications for feminism.

Sick Heart River by John Buchan, B & W pounds 5.99. First published in 1941 and long out of print, this tense adventure tells of Buchan's alter ego Sir Edward Leithen and a desperate manhunt in the Canadian wilderness.
