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.A 32-year-old man was charged in a Dublin court last night with conspiracy to murder crime journalist Veronica Guerin last June.
Paul Ward, of Crumlin, Dublin, was remanded in custody by a special sitting of the Irish District Court. He is the first person to be accused in connection with the murder of the journalist, who was shot dead at the wheel of her car in Dublin. Ward was charged with conspiracy to murder, and with harbouring persons known to have murdered Ms Guerin. He will appear in court again next Thursday. Peter Victor
