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.After muscling out film and music to become Britain's most lucrative entertainment medium last year, the £2bn (in sales) computer-games industry is now colonising bookshelves, too.
Minecraft, the biggest thing in gaming you can just about be excused for not knowing about – unless you're one of its 40 million registered users – will appear in print after maker Mojang sold publishing rights to London-based Egmont. Neither party has given clues about content, but expect colourful blocks (Minecraft players build and explore virtual worlds of Lego-like bricks).
The news comes after the publisher signed a deal with the makers of the Angry Birds games, starting with a joke book. No doubt the firm is hoping for block-busting, high-flying successes (groan).
