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.Pirate recordings of Elton John's tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales are on sale worldwide, it was revealed yesterday.
Counterfeit versions of "Candle in the Wind 1997" have been found in five countries as criminals seek to cash in on the wave of public sympathy following her death.
Reports that pirate CDs are also on sale on the streets of Northern Ireland are also under investigation, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry announced.
"It comes as no surprise that illegal copies of the `Candle in the Wind 1997' single are being sold because it confirms everything we have ever said about pirates - they are nothing more than parasites," said director general Nic Garnett.
