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.Well-wishers rejoiced yesterday, as the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a baby girl, who became the fourth in line to the British throne.
While those campaigning for election were quick to offer the Duke and Duchess their congratulations on the birth, products began to spring up ranging from a china teddy bear to the Royal Mint’s commemorative £5 coin.
Some people weren't content to read the story just once and started piling up the papers to show their coverage of the birth.
Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, was keen to show the support among his party, telling campaigners to take an hour off to toast the newborn, although President Obama decided on a more generic approach.
In Russia, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper claimed that The Duchess looked well after just giving birth.
Canadians were decidedly upbeat about the announcement, with the Ottawa Sun leading with the news. As were media in New Zealand, India and France.
There were also those who were convinced that the baby looked older than everybody thought, so technology was used to solve the problem.
