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.The first commercial flight for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner jet has landed, after a four-hour flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong.
The jet was flown by Japan's All Nippon Airways and was packed with aviation reporters and enthusiasts - some of whom paid thousands for the privilege.
The first flight of the long-range 787 has been highly anticipated, in part because it comes after more than three years of manufacturing delays.
The jet is built of lightweight materials that improve its fuel efficiency.
Its interior is designed to make passengers more comfortable, including larger windows and better lighting.
