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.

With its motto “recognise no taboos”, The Egoist magazine, the anti-establishment rival of the Times Literary Supplement, ran for only five years, from 1914-19, ending with a circulation of 400, but it punched above its weight during its short life. Apart from publishing the criticism of Ezra Pound and T S Eliot it printed extracts from Ulysses and – thanks to pressure from Pound – from 29 December 1914 began a 25-part serialisation of James Joyce’s first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It was published in book form in Paris in 1922.
