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.

Leading London designer Tom Dixon is set to create his first ever hotel – he has been hired by the upmarket American group Morgans Hotel for their Mondrian on the south bank of the Thames.

Morgan's was due to unveil plans for the 360-bed hotel in the former Sea Containers House building this morning. The redevelopment of the former office block is due to be finished in 2014.

Dixon, who was behind the design of Shoreditch House and is a former head of design at Habitat, has been hired by the group for the first Mondrian hotel in Europe.

Morgan's, founded by the boutique hotel guru Ian Schrager, runs the Royalton and Hudson in New York and the Sanderson in London.
