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.

A look at this week's top-rated websites from StumbleUpon, recorded on January 14.

This week's selection includes an article about a pilot who delayed a plane so a man could arrive in time to say goodbye to his murdered grandson before he was taken off life support, a fan-made promotional video for NASA, photos of a lighthouse covered in ice, a skit on smartphones and fruit from the BBC's The One Ronnie show, and a video on the new technology that went into Rockstar Game's facial animations in L.A. Noire.
