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 People had the antidote to Dr Jones's tearful TV reconciliation with his wife, Sarah. 'The sex] The lies] The tears]'; yes, it was time for 'The Truth about Dirty Doctor Hilary Jones . . . By His Mistress'. This soapy saga promises to run and run. Selina Scott had a different problem: the press couldn't find her boyfriend . . . until last week, when Ted Brocklebank, a 'burly' Scottish TV executive, was tracked down to Majorca. Meanwhile Star Trek: The Next Generation's Patrick Stewart was seized by armed police who suspected he was trying to bomb Clarence House, the Queen Mother's home. The jogging star was let go before he could be beamed up. Further perversity: EastEnders fans in Marin County, California, have besieged a TV station that is planning to pull the soap from local homes. Good News: Philip Schofield became a father for the first time. Wife Stephanie gave birth to a 7lb girl a month before her delivery date. Bad News: reporter Brent Sadler and his fiancee were robbed of their wedding rings, a mere six days before they were due to exchange sacred vows.
