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.Nearly thirty years ago a young Steve Jobs addressed the International Design Conference in Aspen Colorado.
He predicted a day when email would be the dominant form of communications, a day when people would carry around their computing devices with them, using them to record every detail of their lives. It seems a member of the audience recorded the speech on cassette, which has recently resurfaced and you can now listen to it in its entirety at lifelibertytech.com
Perhaps eeriest of all is his complaint that the problem with the then current state of computing was that great minds couldn't be consulted once they were dead. And look at us now, a year after the death of Jobs, listening to his prescient words, through the power of technology he helped invent.
