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.

The victims of Austrian Josef Fritzl's incest dungeon have left hospital and set up home together, it was disclosed today.

Prosecuting lawyer Christoph Herbst said Fritzl's daughter and six of the seven children he fathered with her while holding her captive for 24 years have moved to a secret location from the psychiatric clinic where they were being helped to recover.

In November 73-year-old Fritzl was charged with murder for refusing to arrange medical treatment for one of the seven children, who died in infancy.

He also faces charges of rape, incest, false imprisonment and enslavement and is expected to go on trial in March.
