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: Alexandra Shulman, the editor of Vogue, implies that the Independent has been deliberately creating a scandal about photographs of Kate Moss in order to be able to reproduce them (letter, 27 May). I had never heard of Kate Moss before the Independent began to mention her earlier this year, and now scarcely a week goes by without you mentioning the childlike 'supermodel' somewhere.

This week we have had a surfeit of the woman, with the Vogue photographs in Home News on 22 May, a photo on the letters page on 25 May and the Vogue underwear photographs again on 26 May. It would appear that you are the ones with an unhealthily prurient interest in this skinny waif - all done in the interests of objective reporting, of course.

Yours faithfully,
