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.

Yellow Pages has launched a guide to UK-related information on the World Wide Web. It is called Yell and has three services. UK Yellow Web is a British version of Yahoo, with a directory, a search system and "features", which is designed to help browsers wander around the Web. Film Finder provides details of features showing in 400 cinemas across the UK, and includes plot summaries. Electronic Yellow Pages is what it sounds like. Yell is also trying, with .net magazine, to establish a British version of the Cool Site of the Day - you can nominate your own site and, possibly, win pounds 1,000. Find it all at http://www.yell.co.uk.

New Scientist's Planet Science web site (http://www.newscientist.com) is adding a Grand Tours section which rounds up travel destinations across the UK of special scientific interest. It also now has a web site of the day, with great inventions and discoveries made each day in history.

Next week, a special section on the growing world of online services. How you can find everything from a complete European train timetable to the latest free software at the press of a button. Who's who in the online industry - can Microsoft take on established giant CompuServe? And will online services be able to hold their own against the Internet's World Wide Web?
