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: I wrote an article (Media, 30 March) about the journalists' Oscars of last week, known as the Press Awards, which took place at the London Hilton. I am quite happy to acknowledge that Neil Wallis, editor of The People, did not describe the broadsheet newspapers as "broadsheet bastards" when he jumped on the stage at the end of the awards and berated his broadsheet colleagues for unfairly walking away with the majority of the awards when he did not believe they deserved them.
