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 Survival Guide to Food, the series of six 10-minute programmes on avoiding food poisoning that BBC1 screened last autumn, may have put the public straight but it made no friends with the UK Egg Producers' Association, which complained that one programme focusing on the safety of eggs was unjust or unfair. Hard-boiled is okay and vulnerable people should watch the egg-timer carefully, the programme suggested; though it upset the UKEP with a scientist's statement on the link between Salmonella and eggs. Whereupon the Broadcasting Complaints Commission was contacted, and 10 months and much scientific consultation later, we have its result. The Salmonella link was overstated.
