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.

Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand, the accountancy and management consultancy firms, expect to be told next week whether the European Commission intends to carry out a detailed investigation of their proposed merger. This emerged as the firms refused to comment on reports that the Bank of England and the Department of Trade and Industry had added their concerns about the planned consolidation in the accountancy profession to those already expressed by the Financial Services Authority, and Iosco, the organisation of world stock market regulators.
