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 Independent has received 12 nominations for the prestigious British Press Awards.

Our successful campaign against bank charges, which has so far resulted in billions of pounds being repaid to aggrieved customers, has been shortlisted in two categories – the Cudlipp Award, which is awarded to teams of journalists and recognises excellence in popular journalism, and Campaign of the Year.

Two Independent writers, Johann Hari and Matthew Norman, are nominated as Columnist of the Year, while James Lawton is among the nominees for Sports Journalist of the Year. Deborah Ross is shortlisted for Interviewer of the Year.

The newspaper's reporting is also recognised, with Kim Sengupta nominated for Foreign Reporter of the Year and Jerome Taylor for Young Journalist of the Year.

Anthony Quinn is shortlisted for Critic of the Year and Jeremy Warner for Business and Finance Journalist. The other nominees are Dave Brown (cartoonist) and David Ashdown (sports photographer).

The Independent On Sunday received two nominations: Cole Moreton in the interviewer category and 'The New Review' for Supplement of the Year.
