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.Whether you’ve got mountains of revision, work projects to get through at home or you work on the computer some evenings, a decent desk lamp is vital. Indeed, without task lighting, you run the risk of eye strain, headaches and lack of concentration.
When considering which one is best for you, don’t just consider the size and style. Also think about the amount of light the room already has, so that you can work out if you need fuller coverage of the desk or a more specific glow.
