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.Sir Richard Branson's airline Virgin Atlantic is to put "weep warnings" on tearjerker film shown on flights.
The movies Water With Elephants and Just Go With It will be the first to carry the warning signs which will flash up at the start advising passengers that the film is a weepy.
The move follows a recent survey for the airline which showed that 55% agreed their emotions became heightened on a flight.
