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.

Doodle.ly is a new social sketchpad that that turns computer-aided drawings into fun, highly shareable artworks for your social networks.

The project has been dubbed "the Twitter of drawing" and is helping aspiring artists infuse their online text-based Twitter and Facebook ramblings with a touch of creativity.

The Doodle.ly website was launched on July 28. For the moment the service is fairly rudimentary, with a limited set of color and brush options available to users.

More features are expected to be added to the service in the coming months and there are plans to port the service onto the iPhone and iPad in the near future.

The company will have to innovate quickly to catch up with a blossoming field of social drawing startups  that includes animated and collaborative drawing platform QueekyPaint, time-lapse collaborative iPad app Social Drawing, social drawing community DoodleWall, and live drawing and online art community RateMyDrawings.
