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.

REUTERS shares rose as much as 3 per cent after the company said it will not be criminally charged with improperly obtaining data from rival financial information and news service Bloomberg. The shares rose 9 per cent on the week.

Reuters had said that in January 1998 that its US subsidiary, Reuters Analytics, was the subject of a grand jury investigation in New York; a statement that caused the stock to fall 11 per cent in two days. The end of the investigation is set to restore investor confidence in the company.

The shares were also boosted on Wednesday by a strong initial public offering of Reuters' Tibco Software unit, whose products improve online communication between businesses and customers.
