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.

In the fight of the century (or, at least, the fight of last weekend), Jane Austen was up against John Grisham and the old slugger knocked that young buck flat on to the canvas. Yes, Emma beat A Time to Kill. It was also a battle of the beauties: between new faces Gwyneth Paltrow and Matthew McConaughey. Hardly Blur vs Oasis but there you go. (All figures denote weekend box-office only)
