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.The new man in charge of Sussex University has a novel way of bringing about change. Professor Michael Farthing is asking his staff to answer a load of questions in an anonymous survey about how the university can be improved.
Sussex's heyday was in the 1960s when it was created by a bunch of clever professors who'd had enough of the narrowness of Oxford and Cambridge. In recent years it has lost its lustre, and Farthing needs to find new ways to improve its standing in the research assessment exercise. Asking staff for their honest opinion is a savvy first step.
