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.A survey of black people living in Britain shows that 40 per cent think of themselves as British rather than African or Afro-Caribbean.
The NOP poll of 18- to 35-year-olds, commissioned by the black weekly newspaper New Nation also found 52 per cent believed that race relations had improved over the past five years.
However, 40 per cent believed race relations had deteriorated.
The paper's publisher, Tetteh Kofi, said that the results showed that society held many misconceptions about the way black people feel. "This survey shows that black people in Britain, despite social challenges, are making a go of their lives as an integral part of the UK," he said. Only 27 per cent of those questioned thought ethnic-minority affairs were covered effectively on television.
