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.

Confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik's lawyers will reportedly give him a binder with newspaper articles concerning his July 22 massacre once his media restrictions are lifted tomorrow..

32-year-old Breivik has been denied access to media since he surrendered to police following a bomb and shooting spree that killed 77 people. A court last month decided to relax those restrictions.

Defense lawyer Vibeke Hein Baera told news agency NTB that "we will give him clips from one week at a time."

Breivik claims he's a commander of a resistance movement fighting the spread of Islam in Europe. A psychiatric evaluation found him criminally insane, which if upheld by the courts means he would end up in compulsory psychiatric care instead of prison.
