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.Next week, Singapore kicks off the tenth edition of ARTSingapore, its four day art fair highlighting contemporary and emerging are from local and international artists.
It's been a busy month for the tiny country, which last weekend hosted the only night Grand Prix in the Formula One season, welcoming an estimated 80,000 people.
Although tourists to Singapore dropped between 2008 and 2009 due largely to the economic crisis, authorities are fighting back hard this year with the opening of two huge "integrated resorts".
Designed to capture some of Asia's gaming glory from Macau, these massive entertainment, hotel and casino complexes - and the staging of the Grand Prix - are all part of the strategy to market Singapore as a leisure destination.
