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.Students from Launceston College, the school where the murdered teenager Caroline Dickinson was a pupil, have been issued with personal attack alarms for the school's first residential field trip since her brutal sex killing in the French village of Pleines Fougeres in July.
Caroline, 13, had been sleeping between some bunk beds with four other girl students when an intruder raped and suffocated her in the room in the youth hostel. French police are still hunting her killer.
The alarms have been issued to 11 pupils and a teacher from the school who are on a week's A-level geography trip at an unnamed youth hostel in the UK.
