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.

In response to Tim Hilton's article on the Whitechapel Open, ("Abstract, but no longer obscure, Review, 28 July), I would like to make a number of points. There are around 250 artists showing over seven sites, rather than 100 over five. The selectors for the exhibition were not "all members of the Whitechapel staff"; instead each venue selected its own work. Mr Hilton recommends "that the next Open should be chosen by artists rather than administrators". All of the works shown at the Commercial Gallery and Commercial Too (both of which are run entirely by artists) were selected by Keith Ball, Alison Wilding and Richard Wentworth.
