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.Today: Get inspiration for your next trip at the Luxury Travel Fair, which is at Olympia in West London until tomorrow. Guest speakers include Oz Clark and Benedict Allen, plus there's a photography exhibition (luxurytravelfair.com).
On the other side of the capital, check into the new Aloft London ExCeL. W hotels' diffusion brand offers laid-back sophistication; its Royal Victoria Dock location also provides access to Westfield Stratford City (aloftlondonexcel.com).
This week: See the work of Van Gogh, Gauguin, Manet, Renoir and Degas displayed in a new setting at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. After a two-year renovation, the new galleries are now open, with enhanced layout, lighting and space as well as a new café (musee-orsay.fr).
In the diary: If you're a chalet-owner that wants the chance to ski in a different resort this season, check out SnowSwappers.com. The new website offers a house-swap service for mountain property owners, with options from Whistler to Gstaad (snowswappers.com)
