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.

With high unemployment rates now a global problem, gimmicky attempts to get noticed in the job market are becoming more common. Some are annoying, some seem irrelevant, but it's hard to argue that the Amazon-aping website of Philipe Dubost hasn't been a success.

As well as listing the usual educational and professional achievements, Dubost has proved his talents as a Web Product Manager by creating a very convincing take-off of the amazon.com, listing himself as a product.

His site has gone viral and he has started recording feedback on his twitter timeline. No word yet on whether he's been hired, but surely it can't be long?
