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.A Dutch architectural company has apologised for a design of two Seoul skyscrapers that some people said resembled New York's World Trade Centre exploding during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The firm, MVRDV, said on its website yesterday that it had not intended to create an image evoking the 2001 attacks. The firm "sincerely" apologised to anyone whose feelings it had hurt.
The design unveiled in Seoul last week was supposed to show a cloud covering the centre of the buildings. The statement did not say whether MVRDV would retain the design. Construction is due to start in 2013.
