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.IN OUR 9 February coverage of the Tehran airport crash the previous day we reported an Aeroflot official as saying that the plane could have come from Uzbekistan or one of the other Central Asian states. Uzbekistan Airways has asked us to point out that it did not own or have any connection with the crashed airliner and further that, as an internationally recognised airline which flies regularly to and from Heathrow, it is required to, and we are assured that it does, comply with all international safety and maintenance standards.
