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."It was exhilarating, but as the evening sun came out and lit up the little ground like a village theatre, Scotland's best may not have been enough. To paraphrase Sir Elton John, the Scots are still standing. But their best chance of winning a match in France may already have gone." "The Scotsman" on Scotland's 1-1 draw with Norway on Tuesday.
"We can't tackle the World Cup. For me it's almost a bit embarrassing. I've been saying to the media around the world that Norway will at least reach the last 16. We've not been good." Rune Bratseth, former Norway captain, writing in "Verdens Gang" newspaper, Oslo.
