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.Leading publishers have blamed advertising agencies for failing to capitalise on the smartphone boom.
Just days after Apple's new iPhone5 hit stores, the Association of Online Publishers warned: "While more people than ever are consuming content on their smartphones and tablets, ad revenues are not migrating to those devices at the same rate."
A survey of AOP members, which include most of Britain's major newspaper, TV, magazine and radio groups, found that 55 per cent believe that ad agencies' negative attitude "would hold back mobile revenue growth next year".
