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.A once-rejected NewsToons political satire application for the iPhone was available at iTunes on Tuesday after Apple granted its Pulitzer Prize winning creator a reprieve.
Apple had rejected the NewsToons application in December on the grounds it violated the iconic California firm's developer rules by lambasting public officials.
Newstoons creator Mark Fiore was awarded a Pulitzer Prize this month for his work, triggering a story about a winner of the prestigious award being spurned by Apple.
Apple called Fiore and prompted him to resubmit his NewsToons application iTunes. He did so on Friday and it was swiftly approved for the App Store.
Apple chief executive Steve Jobs was publicly quoted as saying initially rejected Fiore's application was a mistake.
Fiore was quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper as saying it felt "weird" to apparently get special treatment because he won a Pulitzer.
