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.

The front pages of all UK national newspapers this morning led with yesterday's news of the death of former prime minister Baroness Thatcher.

Coverage varied across the political spectrum and from the the factual - 'Maggie dead in bed at Ritz' (The Sun) - through the sentimental - 'The woman who saved Britain' (Daily Mail) - to the arguably crass and celebratory - 'Rejoice' (Socialist Worker).

Most carried large photographs of the iconic former leader's face.

The Independent's front page featured a black and white picture of Baroness Thatcher with the headline 'The woman who changed everything' and the strapline 'Margaret Thatcher 1925-2013' above our red masthead.
