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.

BEV RIPLEY, who helped build up Cityvision, the chain of video shops, is now hoping to cash in on the Nintendo craze. He has just become chairman of the tiny quoted concern JMD Group, which has raised nearly pounds 4m in new equity at 12 1/2 p a share from City supporters. The revamped company, now changing its name to (for some reason) Rhino Group, hopes to open 40 shops, specialising in computer and video games. The shares are close to 20p and could have some way to travel.
