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.

Websites can be produced for a specific event. This site, which isn't linked to any commercial organisation, contains plenty of little nuggets including an advent calendar, travel information and a facility to send Christmas cards to friends via the Internet.

If you want bad writing, the Internet has it. If you want to avoid doing the research yourself, then try the Third Annual Bad Writing Contest Winners. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the winners are inevitably academics. First prize goes to the scholar Fredric Jameson. Find out why.

How much do you know about cars? The autotrivia page lets you test out your knowledge on the subject, choosing from the Fifties, the Sixties and the Seventies. It's strictly for engine-heads but is very slickly put together with plenty of pictures for real aficianados to drool over.
