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.Sir: The Dunblane massacre was an appalling tragedy that is virtually beyond comprehension and certainly doesn't benefit from the media's relentless quest to rehash the facts from every conceivable angle.
A national day of mourning, where all schools, businesses, shops and other organisations close in remembrance, would be a far more powerful response and concentrate everyone's minds on the importance of life, young and old.
