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.

HARD TIMES in the high street. The Grocer laments jam's struggle. Sales are down, but demand grows for better stuff ("extra jam").

Sandra Sherratt, of Trustin, avers that "they are eating fewer host products" and Fiona Chatwin of Nestle experiences fewer "breakfast occasions". Ian Grieg of Robertson's wants, stickily, "category management to make jam fixtures easier to shop. One in four consumers walk past the fixture without making a purchase because they think it is too complicated." He will oust "duplicates that offer the same thing . . . a lot of deep-cut activity went into extra jam last year, cannibalising the sales of standard jam."

In no dictionary, deep-cut is not chunky jam but such tactics as "buy one, get one free".
