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.

Those tabloid TV 'scoops' in short: BBC nature expert Lionel Kellaway is rather fond of squirrel pie; ex-Coronation Street star Peter Adamson (Len Fairclough) had an operation for bowel cancer; American comic Bill Cosby topped Forbes' annual list of the rich with an estimated fortune of dollars 150m; the late Arthur Negus's own antique collection will go under the hammer; and a three-day gathering of 150 academics failed to explain why people like Australian soap operas.
