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.

r John Mayo, the Zeneca director whose brief covers finance, insurance and information technology, yesterday took advantage of the growing strength of the company's share price. He pocketed a tidy sum of pounds 119,000 from the disposal of 10,000 shares at pounds 11.90 each. The sale cut his total holding to 11,504. Zeneca's shares closed a penny higher at pounds 11.93.

r There was an industry rumour yesterday that trading at the recently floated Media Business Group was going much better than expected. The company, which specialises in buying advertising space, is due to report its maiden interim results in December. The figures, according to industry sources, could lead to analysts upgrading full year expectations of pounds 1m before tax by as much as 20 per cent. Shares trade at 3.75p.
