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.

The shares have been firm this week on talk of intriguing developments near its Bolivian field where the oil being sought was found to have "migrated". Repsol, the State owned Spanish giant, is drilling next to PAR's Bolivian site and, if stories from the jungle can be believed, may have scored a hit. It seems the Repsol drill produced similar results to the PAR exercise, prompting thoughts the oil which so many expected to find is still available. Some suspect Repsol may help develop the PAR block. The shares are 35p.
Many reasons are given for a company going private. Tetronics, a supplier of high temperature equipment, has come up with a new twist. It has decided its "best interests" are no longer served by having a public market in its shares. A major shareholder, Alan Heber-Percy recently died. The shares were 95p on Ofex.
