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.

(First Edition)

PRAGUE (Reuter) - A Czechoslovak weekly newspaper which caused an uproar by printing a list of Jews active in the country's cultural life will suspend publication, the Prosecutor General's Office said yesterday.

Politika, which printed the list in its latest edition, prompted alarm among Czechoslovakia's small Jewish community and drew bitter condemnation from prominent citizens, including the former president, Vaclav Havel.

'This is exactly what used to be written (in 1930s Germany) and what then led to concentration camps,' Mr Havel said.
