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.It's been a long time coming. In the wake of new report on the Hillsborough cover-up, the former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie today offered his "profuse apologies to the people of Liverpool."
MacKenzie has several times prevaricated, stalled and otherwise refused to apologise for a front-page headline he ran four days after the Hillsborough tragedy in which 96 people died.
Above is footage from an appearance on BBC Daily Politics in December 2011, when MacKenzie was challenged by Labour MP Chris Bryant.
MacKenzie's apology has been rejected by Trevor Hicks, of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, who said it was "too little, too late".
