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.

The Apple Watch Hermes, described as a combination of chic and tech geek, has been chosen as “Life Enhancer of the Year” in Wallpaper* magazine’s annual design awards.

The “Designers of the Year” were the Brittany-born brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, who also won the “Best Domestic Design” category for the Samsung Serif television. The awards were judged by a panel that included the architect David Adjaye and the actor Eddie Redmayne.
