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.Sir: In the Internet world, company names such as Centrica and Corus are not as silly as they appear (leading article, 29 October). They are unique words, easily found by search engines. The dumb names are common words such as Egg, Orange or Marbles, which are either ignored by search engines because they are so common, or produce millions of hits. The dumbest of recent times is Thus, the new name for Scottish Telecom. A company that would like to be an Internet player has become virtually invisible on it.
