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.To mark the 20th anniversary of the reunification of Germany, which will be celebrated on Sunday, Berlin’s Museum of Film and Television has given The Independent Online access to its extensive archive of personal photographs from the time.
From cakes baked to celebrate German unity to protestors in conflict with police in Alexanderplatz, the ‘Moments in Time 1989/1990’ archive is collection of snapshots providing insight into the deep changes that followed the fall of the Berlin wall.
