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 "survivors' edition" of Charlie Hebdo has been released as an app, allowing people to buy the magazine after it sold out on shelves.
Despite printing five million copies of the first issue since the Paris shootings last week, the magazine sold out in minutes. The magazine has released its first phone and tablet app to cope with the demand.
The app is available for iOS and Windows Phone. It’s also available for Android tablets, though not the phone.
Future editions of the magazine will be available to download through the app too, according to Belgian newspaper Le Soir.
Though the magazine is being translated into English, Spanish and Arabic, the app only offers the magazine in French.
Limited copies have been made available in Britain — but huge demand led to long queues and the magazines quickly selling out, this morning. As such, the app is the easiest way to get the magazine in the UK — or anywhere else.
