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.A judge is to decide today whether to send media mogul Conrad Black back to prison or let him remain free based on time already served.
US district judge Amy St Eve is scheduled to resentence former Daily Telegraph boss Lord Black in Chicago after an appellate court threw out two convictions and upheld two others last year.
A jury convicted Black in 2007, and the judge sentenced him at the time to six-and-a-half years for defrauding investors in Hollinger International.
But Black was freed on bail after serving two years to enable him to pursue partially successful appeals.
The appellate court ruled that Black would have to be resentenced on the two confirmed charges - one fraud count and one of obstruction of justice.
