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.

Too soon? Yeah, almost definitely. That's never stopped bad taste Halloween costumes before, though.

On page 29 of today's copy of The Times you can find your very own cut-out and keep Jimmy Savile mask. It's the kind of stunt you'd expect from The Sun, but 'the paper of record'?

In fairness, the mask is not from a photograph, but an illustration by Times cartoonist Peter Brooks, and thus could be interpreted as a satire of the idea that a tabloid paper might publish such an item. But it's also a Jimmy Savile Halloween mask.
