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.Twenty-six journalists were killed around the world last year in the course of their work, with India and Colombia the most dangerous countries. The annual report by Reporters without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists said it marked the third consecutive drop after an especially deadly 1994, in which 103 journalists were killed.
Seven journalists died in India last year, four in Colombia, three in Mexico, and two in Cambodia. For the first time since 1993, no journalist was killed in Algeria, despite worsening civil strife. - Reuters, Paris
