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.Police have now found a 10-year-old schoolgirl who had been missing since Monday afternoon.
Humberside Police launched an urgent appeal after the schoolgirl was last seen yesterday at 3.20pm in Hessle near Hull, East Yorkshire.
She was described as having long, brown hair and wearing a black coat, bottle green jumper, dark trousers and black shoes.
In a post on social media this morning, Humberside Police said: “Thank you to everybody who has shared our appeal so far” however, they continued to ask “anybody with any information” to get in contact.
But just after 11am on Tuesday morning, the police said that “following extensive lines of enquiry” the schoolgirl “has now been located safe and well. Thank you to everybody who shared our appeal to help locate her”.
