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.SPECULATION was growing last night over the possible closure of the Observer magazine only five months after it was redesigned as part of its parent paper's relaunch.
Staff at the Observer's offices in Farringdon, central London, said privately that they believed this Sunday's edition could be the last.
However, Jonathan Fenby, the newspaper's editor, refused to confirm or deny the magazine was doomed.
Rumours of the magazine's demise were fuelled by a report in the London Evening Standard predicting closure by the end of March. Mr Fenby denied the report's assertion that the publication had cost pounds 2m since the relaunch, but would not deny closure was being considered.
'We are looking at a variety of ways of developing the Observer,' he said. 'This may affect different parts across the paper, but that is all we have said.'
