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.Good Day for equality, as a nationwide survey by Zanussi revealed that 65 per cent of men and 61 per cent of women believe that men will be spending more time in the kitchen in five years' time. 19 per cent of men admit to discussing kitchen appliances with friends in the pub.
Bad Day for mobile phones, as a stress psychologist blamed them for killing off the idea of a relaxing, get-away-from-it-all holiday. Professor Cary Cooper of Manchester University said: "Being contacted on a mobile phone can be doubly stressful if you are unable to resolve the problem - it's not just a momentary disturbance but you go on worrying about it and the stress builds up." He described the spread of mobile phones as "very bad news".
Disastrous Day for cheating, as a soldier in Cambodia shot a teacher monitoring school exams. He had mistaken the man for another teacher who had intercepted a crib sheet which the soldier wanted passed to a student in the classroom. The Secretary of State in the Information Ministry had earlier said of the cheating: "I think things are better than last year".
