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.NORWEGIAN WHALERS are struggling to fill the nation's self-appointed quota of minkes because of bad weather. The government granted a quota of 753 whales for the hunt, lasting from May to the beginning of next month.
Per Olav Rolandsen, who monitors the hunt for Norway's whaling centre, said the hunt was hampered by rough seas. "Even the slightest ripple on the ocean can make it impossible to see the whales."
