Independent.co.uk nominated for top web award
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.

Independent.co.uk has been nominated for a Webby, one of the internet's top awards celebrating excellence on the internet, for the second year running.
The awards, which are in their 13th year, were established to draw attention to online achievement, with categories ranging from Best Viral Video to Best Blog, to the Newspaper category in which Independent.co.uk was nominated along with four other websites.
American websites dominate the list of prospective award-winners, with The New York Times leading the pack with 13 nominations, followed by NBC.com with 12 nominations and satirical news site The Onion, which was nominated in eight categories. The winners will be revealed at a ceremony in New York on June 8.
Famously, Webby award winners must limit their acceptance speech to five words in length. Al Gore, who was denied the US Presidency in 2001 after a controversial recount which saw George Bush win by a handful of votes, accepted his 2005 Webby Lifetime Achievement Award with the announcement "Please don't recount this vote."
