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.

I am delighted that you will be publishing readers’ letters in your digital edition. I can continue to display my vanity online now.

Hope to be able to keep up with the online version on my ancient PC. Not sure about apps – but will have a go.

It is with great sadness, after 30 years of purchasing the Independent that we see the last paper version of this august publication tomorrow. We have, with some trepidation, decided to "trial" the online version and hope that it will present us with the same sensible outlook, rooted in this uncertain world that we have grown used to.

We have looked forward to our day starting with breakfast and half of your newspaper each since the paper's earliest days. Unfortunately this is coming to an end as, so far, we have not succeeded in dividing a tablet computer in two.

The last printed edition was excellent and I shall be keeping it intact and in pride of place in that safe area everyone has.
