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.

It’s the first time that Midnight Club has appeared on next-gen consoles, but it has been worth the wait.

And Rockstar has picked LA, the ultimate place to set its road racer. Players get a good sense of the City of Angels as they powerslide their muscle cars – and bikes – to the extreme, dodging cops and completing missions. Annoyingly, the AI seems skewed toward other racers, so the first few attempts to win are frustrating affairs, but once you’ve upgraded your motor and got the hang of the game, things do improve.
