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.Feeling anxious? Stressed by your job? The good news is that the NHS is to recruit psychologists to work with GPs treating patients with depression, panic attacks and other mild mental illnesses. This is a useful innovation. The shrinks could, for instance, reassure the patient who is panicking over a six-month wait for an operation. But first in the queue may be those who are overworked, distrusted and with a propensity to drink and smoke too much. Nobody needs the listening cure more than the medical profession itself.
