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.

The Shiznit's annual takedown of all the films in contention has not disappointed with Call Me by Your Name, The Post and All the Money in the World among the titles in the firing line.
Leading the 2018 Oscars pack is Guillermo del Toro fantasy The Shape of Water with 13 nominations while Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk sits at eight and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri has seven (find the full list of nominees here).

The 2018 nominations were announced yesterday (23 January) by Andy Serkis and Tiffany Haddish. Many have been hailing the Best Director category in particular which saw nominations for first-time filmmakers Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) and Jordan Peele (Get Out) whose recognition we called "a win for diversity and creativity."
Rachel Morrison became the first ever female nominee in the category of Best Cinematography for her work on Netflix film Mudbound which also saw Mary J. Blige earn a Best Supporting Actress nomination alongside frontrunners Allison Janney (I, Tonya) and Laurie Metcalf (Lady Bird).
Last year saw Moonlight take home Best Picture following a blunder that saw La La Land incorrectly named as the winner.
