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.

BIG do on Broadway tonight: 70 years of the New Yorker, selected readings to a select audience, lit glit, you know how serious these Americans are. And not everyone happy, oh dear me, no. Mucho disdain for Tina Brown, British editrice, who has removed all those fascinating long articles about bridges, used photographs for the first time and put bylines at the top of stories rather than at the end. And introduced lots of, ahem, sex. And the language: no less than nine variations on the

copulation word recently. And it's still losing money. Tina, call me.
