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.Our article of 28 November 2017 headlined "Prince Harry Meghan Markle engagement: Barack Obama congratulates the couple while Trump remains silent" incorrectly reported that Meghan Markle was the first American to become engaged to a member of the British royal family. In fact, Edward VIII proposed to American socialite Wallis Simpson, leading to his abdication in 1936 - they subsequently married. We have now amended the article.
An article first published on 20 November 2017 ("This map shows the most dangerous countries in the world for tourists") included a map, which we described as illustrating the FCO's advice as to which countries were and were not safe to travel to. The map was in fact outdated and reflected the FCO's advice as of November 2016. We have therefore removed the item.
