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.

Luckily for Sony, the smartphones don’t ship with a 16.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, a 10x zoom, or the ability to create super-detailed panoramas with a 42.9 megapixel resolution.
Sony’s Cyber-shot TX55 also boasts a 3D Sweep Panorama mode and can capture still images in three dimensions. It has a large 3.3" OLED wide touchscreen, built-in picture effects, anti-shaking system, and a battery life of 125 minutes (250 shots) with the LCD turned on.
Rival electronics maker Panasonic unveiled its latest digital camera offering during the week, the Lumix DMC-LS5. The 14.1megapixel entry-level compact camera is an easy-to-use camera with 720p video and the "added convenience" of running off AA batteries.
The Sony Cyber-shot TX55 will be available in September along with Sony's more curvaceous sibling, the Cyber-shot DSC-WX30. The Panasonic Lumix LS5 will be available in November. Pricing has not been announced.
