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.

PARIBAS RECENTLY published a research note on the global media industry which featured a picture of an attractive woman on the front cover.

The sales desk at Paribas was deluged with phone calls from fund managers eager to meet "Andrea Azimundi", the name on the cover of the report.

When they discovered that Andrea is in fact a male, Italian, not to say bearded analyst at Paribas, the callers strangely lost their enthusiasm.
