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.

The flight

British Airways has become the first European airline to allow its passengers to use electronic devices in "flight safe" mode at almost all stages of a trip, following a CAA ruling (bit.ly/Inflight).

The tour

The White Circle has launched RIB rides into the Arctic fjords of Norway in search of the Aurora Borealis. The "Harstad – Kisses with Wolves" trip also involves an encounter with wolves (thewhitecircle.com).

The website

Compareandfly.com is a new price- comparison site that lets you make immediate bookings with real-time prices of flights, accommodation and car hire. A smartphone app is being launched in January.
