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.

Games company EA is making its EA Access subscription service free for the whole of this week, giving gamers a chance to play to a host of EA's biggest games for nothing.

A subscription to EA Access usually costs £4 a month or £20 a year, and gives unlimited access to some of EA's top Xbox One games, like Battlefield Hardline, Titanfall, and Fifa 15, amongst others.

As well as giving sneak peeks of games before their release date, subscribers also get a 10 per cent discount on all digital purchases of EA games on Xbox One. The service is a pretty good deal - and now it's free.

Everyone with an Xbox Live Gold membership will get free access to the 14 games in the EA Access Vault from Tuesday 19 January to Sunday 24.

If you got an Xbox One for Christmas and want to try out some new games, taking advantage of the free offer would be a good idea.

Of course, EA hopes that you'll end up paying for a subscription at the end of the free trial period, but there's no obligation to do so if you take part.
