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.Hundreds of journalists at a leading publisher are to stage fresh strikes in a dispute over pay.
Members of the National Union of Journalists at National World will walk out on September 22 and 25 following a stoppage earlier this week.
The journalists, who work on titles including The Scotsman, Yorkshire Post, Sunderland Echo and Lancashire Post, are currently working to rule in protest at a 4.5% pay rise.
Laura Davison, NUJ national organiser, said: “We know National World can afford to revise its pay package for staff, ensuring journalists can afford to remain at the jobs they rightly take pride in.”
