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.

BRITISH SKY Broadcasting said yesterday that Ian West, managing director of Sky Entertainment, was leaving by mutual consent after more than 10 years with the group.

BSkyB chief executive Tony Ball paid tribute to Mr West, who is departing with immediate effect. "He oversaw the launch of Sky digital and has ensured it has had the fastest growth of any digital platform worldwide. He and I both recognised that with the first year of digital nearly over, he needed new challenges," Mr Ball said. BSkyB refused to reveal the size of Mr West's pay-off.
