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.On 1 September it will be exactly four months until the New Year: 2023.
Who knows what the future might hold for our travel plans following two years blighted by Covid and the most recent summer hit by delays and cancellations when the beleaguered aviation industry struggled to cope with renewed demand?
But with the peak of school holidays over with, airlines and tour operators should hopefully find themselves back on a more even keel.
Off- and shoulder-season is a great time to get exploring – whether abroad or closer to home – with numerous destinations still warm into late September, the changing leaves painting a colourful backdrop for a trip, and lower prices and quieter attractions all offering added incentive.
