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.

IT IS going to be traumatic for Goldman Sachs when it goes public this summer, having spent so many years as one of the most secretive investment banks on the block. Goldman has therefore gone on a pre-float hiring spree for spokespeople to deal with inquisitive journalists and shareholders.

The bank has hired a chap called John Anchors in New York to be its first- ever director of investment relations. It is also looking for a global head of PR in the Big Apple and a European PR head in the smoke.

Pay is secret, but a source said they were "the kind of mind-boggling amounts you would imagine".
