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.

Will cryptocurrency save the world from financial ruin, or speed it up? Can renewable energy and battery technology hold back the climate crisis? How are billionaires such as Elon Musk looking to take us to space and onto other planets – and should they? These questions will define and decide our future.

In recent years, technology has been accused of igniting civil unrest, helping to speed up climate change, being part of a global surveillance network and much more besides. But at the same time it has also helped fight against all of those dangers, giving us new tools and voices that could help humanity and the world see off some of its biggest threats.

In a bid to uncover the truth behind them all The Independent is launching a weekly technology newsletter which, will be compiled by our tech team. The free email will be sent every Tuesday and the first one will be sent on 27 July.

In it we’ll be examining not only how technology might be damaging the world but also how it is looking to help it, and highlighting the most exciting innovations as well as looking how they might shape where we are going.

Whatever you think about the growth of technology and what it has done to us in the past, one thing is clear: it will decide what the world looks like in the future.

From the latest on cryptocurrency to advancements in the billionaire space race we will keep you up to speed with all the latest news, analysis, graphs and videos in each week’s edition of the IndyTech newsletter.
