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.

Half of console-owning households in the USA keep their games machine in the living room, 20 percent commandeer the kids' bedroom, ten percent go for the master bedroom and one percent pop it on the patio or porch, according to research released March 24 by trend tracking firm Nielsen.

The Nintendo Wii finds a place in the family room 59 percent of the time, and is least likely to be banished to the children's bedroom.

By contrast, 28 percent of Xbox 360 systems are in the kids' room, with 42 percent occupying space under the family TV.
