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 gaming world’s most dedicated denizens are celebrated with the release of the gamer’s edition of the ‘Guinness World Records 2010’ (£14.99).

From the largest collection of Pokémon memorabilia (a whopping 12,113 different items) to the highest scorers of the last 12 months, the biggest-selling titles to the hardcore fans whoplayed for the longest time without rest (a brain-numbing 24 hours), the records are as weird and wonderful as ever. Anyone inspired to take a shot at gaining a place in next year’s tome should bear in mind the following rules: first, pick a record, then check that it will be considered a valid attempt. Register your attempt at Guinnessworldrecords.com/gamers to receive the rules, then do your best, making sure that you rope in two witnesses, and record your attempt to supply proof to the GWR board. If your bid is successful, you could be a gaming star in 2011.
