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.

On 7 March 1993 we published a review by Patrick Seale of David Yallop's book To the Ends of the Earth:

The Hunt for the Jackal (Jonathan Cape, 1993, pounds 17.99). The review contained an allegation that David Yallop had borrowed heavily and without attribution from an earlier work on the same subject. We accept that this allegation was without foundation. We apologise to Mr Yallop for any distress or embarrassment which he has suffered as a result. An agreed figure for damages and costs has been paid to Mr Yallop in respect of his claim.
