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.Andrew Neil, former Sunday Times editor, was yesterday named editor-in-chief of European Press Holdings, which owns the European and three Scottish newspapers.
The group, which owns the Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday and the Edinburgh Evening News, said the move was designed to accelerate a drive to improve the circulations of its four titles.
Mr Neil, who has recently detailed his often stormy relationship with Rupert Murdoch, the Sunday Times's owner, in an autobiography, said: "I am particularly excited to be involved with three Edinburgh-based newspapers at a time when Scottish affairs look likely to be moving to the centre of the national debate."
Bert Hardy, chief executive of European Press Holdings, said: "This concludes the first stage of our continued process of investment in quality people which is enabling us to move forward on all fronts."
