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 guide

The Adventure Walks Paris Map offers 20 illustrated sightseeing walks in the French capital, from art gallery ambles to gourmet gambols; £3.99 (adventurewalksbooks.co.uk).

The ride

Val Thorens in the French Alps has opened what it claims is the world’s highest zip-line. Glide at an altitude of up to 3,230m and as fast as 100km/h to the village of Orelle, for €50pp (la-tyrolienne.com).

The attraction

Heathrow Terminal 4 has a new airside viewing platform with vistas of the south runway, control tower and Concorde. iPads display live flight radars, while binoculars enhance the view (heathrow.com).
