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.

There have been some truly spectacular events in the world of People News in 2014.

This year will forever go down in history as the time Courtney Love claimed she found the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

It was the year politics was reduced to watching Nigel Farage and Russell Brand play the exuberant Punch and Judy of the far left and right, all rubber faces and quirky mannerisms and lots of words that sound like everything but actually mean very little, instilling a heightened state of vote-dividing confusion within the British public.

It was the crazy 365 days that Tony Blair was honoured not only with a Philanthropist of the Year award, but a Gay Icon and a Global Development prize, too.

And who could forget the morose and disturbing week it was revealed that Gary Barlow – he of Jubilee-organising, national treasure, Take That fame – had unwittingly avoided thousands of pounds in tax payments. His apology? A tweet swiftly followed by a promotion for his new album.

So what fine headlines would we wish to see clogging up our social media feeds and newsstands in 2015?

In all honestly, probably none of the not impossible but not incredibly likely ones we’ve included in the gallery above.

But if there is any justice in the world, we truly hope at least some of these “predictions” will come true.
