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.PROFITS at South Korean manufacturing firms dropped sharply in the first six months of 1992 because of higher costs and sagging exports. This is the first time in three years that South Korean manufacturers' profits have fallen. Of the 499 listed firms whose business year ends in December, 373 earned dollars 56bn in turnover in the first half, up 12 per cent. But their total pre-tax profits fell 14.7 per cent to dollars 943m.
