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.

Robert Fisk, The Independent's Middle East correspondent, will receive the International Prize today at the prestigious Amalfi Coast Media Awards in Italy.

The awards celebrate the best of contemporary journalism in Italy and abroad and the winners are chosen by a jury of senior figures in the industry. In honouring Mr Fisk the jury said he demonstrated "objectivity and a desire to bring the news, whatever the cost".

"He is there to report the facts that shape the world, so that we can live the events as they happen, and not just narrate from the outside," the jury added.
