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.

With Christmas party season in full swing, it is perhaps sobering to note that the average UK adult admits to being drunk in three-quarters of their Facebook photos.

On average, participants in a survey published yesterday, said that 76 per cent of photos posted of them on the social networking site were taken while they were under the influence of alcohol.

More than half said they had pictures that they would not want work colleagues to see; 8 per cent admitted to appearing in pictures which could get them into "serious trouble" in the office.

Few users had activated privacy settings. A quarter of participants admitted that "anyone" could view their photos online, according to the survey by MyMemory.com.
