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.

With many gamers failing to see the point in upgrading to the DSi, Nintendo needs to up the ante with itsDSiWare. If Flipnote Studio is anything to go by, though, the Japanese giant is on the right track. This free piece of software turns the DSi into an on-the-go animation device – using the concept of flip-book animation – that is easy to grasp but deep enough to result in hours of play creating mini masterpieces with.Adding sound effects and posting your films on to the web is a breeze. Flipping great.
