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.

Prince Charles is on the hunt for someone to run his Twitter account, and has posted a public advert on journalist resources website Gorkana.

The job ad, which closes 7 February, says that Prince Charles and his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles are looking to hire a digital engagement officer to maintain Prince Charles' website and "support Clarence House's communications strategy".

No salary is specified on the advert, although the lucky winner of the job will be based in Clarence House, London, near St James' Park. With a bit of luck, Charles and Camilla might even chuck in a few Duchy Originals biscuits gratis.

The advert specifies that applicants must have proven journalism and online communications experience, as well as a "calm, diplomatic manner".
