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.

Sunday Times: Yes vote to spark pensions crisis at RBS

Royal Bank of Scotland could face a giant funding gap of up to £5.6bn in its pension scheme if the country votes to become independent.

Sunday Telegraph: Bid to privatise Channel 4 blocked by ministers

Proposals to privatise Channel 4, drawn up by the Government earlier this year, were blocked by the Lib Dems. Tory-led Coalition departments such as the Treasury and Department of Culture, sought to capitalise on demand for TV assets from US groups Discovery, Viacom and Scripps.

Mail on Sunday: Branson’s West Coast earnings drop to £9.2m
