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.There is some good news for students at new universities. It had been thought that graduates of Russell Group institutions outdid those from new universities when it came to earnings. But an analysis of graduates from London South Bank University shows that they make more money out of their degrees than those from other universities. That is good news for their graduates and for those who believe in the value of higher education. Going to any university, it seems, is worthwhile. And attending a former polytechnic that offers a lot of vocational degrees that employers value seems to be a particularly good investment.
