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: After reading the article (Saturday, 6 December) on whether papers should be recycled or burnt, I think recycling is the only option for The Independent.

With a Scottish nanny in the household we have both the Daily Record and The Independent each day.

When starting an open coal fire with the Daily Record the fire always starts with ease. When using The Independent the fire takes considerable coaxing to burn.

What does this say about the properties of The Independent compared to other papers? My wife thinks nothing burns like rubbish.
