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.IN HIS book, Rupert Murdoch, William Shawcross describes how Lord Northcliffe, founder of the Daily Mail, was a great influence on Murdoch's father, Keith. The senior Murdoch modelled himself on Northcliffe - so much so that when he built his own media empire in Australia he was known as 'Lord Southcliffe'. Keith would no doubt take great delight from the way in which his son's Sunday Times is moving ever closer to the Daily Mail's sister paper, the Mail on Sunday. One business journalist, in his new contract with the Mail on Sunday, has been excluded from writing for just two other rivals: the Sunday Express and the Sunday Times.
