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.Even within Canada's starry spectrum of fiction, Newfoundland writers stand out. Lisa Moore's firm grip and fine craft make something special from this novel of disaster and its aftermath. Helen's husband Cal was among the 84 victims on an oil rig that sank in a storm off the coast in 1982.
Now her loss still shapes her life as vagabond son John squares up at last to parenthood. Assured double-time plotting, and supple, graceful prose, set the long work of grief against a changing world that widens horizons while leaving old wounds still open. Yet a happier future will resist the "virulent and ravenous" past.
