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.

As the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking approaches, a complete sonar survey of the entire area has revealed never-before-seen views of the site. Three robotic vehicles allowed the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to produce high-resolution images of the entire ship – inside and out. “Now we know where everything is,” said William Lange, of the WHOI, in Massachusetts. “After a hundred years, the lights are finally on.”
The images have been released in National Geographic's April edition to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the disaster, which took place on 15 April 1912.
