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.

Chock-full of woodland creatures and set in a

bucolic sandbox environment, SimAnimals

should be just the thing for animal-lovers looking

for some gentle entertainment. But instead it’s a

frustrating affair, thanks to duff graphics,

unforgivable glitches and patchy controls. Instead

of socialising with squirrels, players are more

likely to be damning their DS. The concept is

good and the animals cute, but poor execution

makes this more tragic than magic.
