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 Independent has revived its annual award for the best new work of translated fiction, in association with - and thanks to generous support from - the Arts Council of England. For this year's prize, books published in a first UK edition between January and December 2000 will be eligible; a shortlist will be compiled early next year and the award made in spring 2001. It will be worth £10,000, split equally between author and translator. The judges are the writers Patricia Duncker and Elaine Feinstein; the head of arts and libraries at Essex County Council, Grace Kempster; Amanda Hopkinson, international literature officer at the Arts Council; and Boyd Tonkin, Independent literary editor. Publishers who wish to submit titles for the prize should contact Abigail Campbell at the Literature Department of the Arts Council of England, 14 Great Peter Street, London SW1P 3NQ; 020 7973 0300.
