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 online retailing behemoth Amazon pressed ahead with expansion plans for its fledgling interactive television business yesterday in another boost for London's burgeoning "Tech City" technology hub.
Amazon is moving its Pushbutton business, which it bought last year, to far larger offices as the company joins the throng of fast-growing tech firms gravitating towards Clerkenwell and Old Street's "Silicon Roundabout".
Pushbutton, founded in 2002, specialises in interactive TV and designs technology which allows customers to watch on a number of platforms such as tablets and games consoles.
A source close to the deal said: "These guys were in a 2,000 sq ft office and now they're taking up nearly 50,000 sq ft. This is what the tech world is also about – absolutely incredible growth."
