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.The publicity surrounding the $100m (£64m) remake of a film of Stieg Larsson's novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has angered the late author's long-term partner.
Eva Gabrielsson, who lived with the crime writer from 1974 until his death 30 years later, said Larsson's work was intended to draw attention to violence and discrimination against women.
"We would never have sold merchandising rights," she said. "It has nothing to do with books." The clothing giant H&M has released a line of clothes inspired by Lisbeth Salander, the film's anti-heroine, though no rights deal applies. Larsson's father and brother said they would donate film earnings to charity.
