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.

Ronan Farrow, the biological son of the director Woody Allen and actress Mia Farrow, has been named a Rhodes scholar and will study for a year at Oxford.

Mr Farrow, 23, has been working as a US State Department special adviser on global youth issues.

The former child prodigy, who was accepted at Yale Law School at the age of 16, became the subject of a custody battle between his parents after Allen's relationship with Mia Farrow's adopted daughter, Soon-Yi, was revealed.
