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 traveller on the Oscars' trail could begin at Waterloo by taking a newly privatised Stagecoach train to Winchester Cathedral and the tomb of Jane Austen. Here, best screenplayer Emma Thompson paid her respects (but not her royalties) to the writer of Sense and Sensibility; pounds 15.20 day return.

Or book a 1780 baronial mansion at Rothes on Speyside to relive Braveheart. A week in April costs pounds 1,145, including beds for 12 (one a four-poster), a billiard parlour and a "love room". Country Holidays: 01282 445500.
