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.

Outlook Well, someone certainly loves Cupid. The dating website that has been the subject of some unattractive reports about its business practices was still in the clouds yesterday, although its shares haven't quite made up all the ground lost after the BBC shot a poisoned arrow through its heart.

They say money can't buy you love, but the City loves money, money, money, and shrewdies with spread-betting accounts have probably made an awful lot of it out of the recent shenanigans.

Then there are all those takeover rumours that keep swirling around the business, although with £9m cash in the bank management surely wouldn't need to be saying "rescue me" to any suitor just yet. Still, it only needs a rumour for the shares in a company like this to be veritably dancing on the ceiling. Keep your eye on this one. There's no telling where it'll end up, but the journey might prove to be something of a thriller.
