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.JAPANESE STOCKS finished little changed, as enthusiasm for hi- tech issues prompted by another record performance on the Nasdaq index was off-set by profit-taking following Thursday's rally.
The Nikkei finished up 6.77 points or 0.04 per cent at 18,354.90. It recovered from an earlier decline in afternoon trade, helped by gains by large cap issues such as Sony.
"The market was bogged down by profit-taking in the morning, but high- techs did quite well after the Nasdaq rally," said one analyst.
