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.A Paris-based website has launched a competition offering the winner a one-month tour of seven world cities with a shopping budget of 10,000 euros (15,000 dollars), business class travel and luxury accommodation.
The winner for what Letsbuyit.com is calling the "Second Best Job in the World" will have to keep a blog, find the best bargains, and compare shopping cultures in Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Milan, New York, Paris and Tokyo.
In May, Briton Ben Southall won a "Best Job in the World" competition organised by a local tourism agency in Australia to work as a caretaker on an idyllic island. The contest drew 34,000 candidates from 200 countries.
Candidates for the shopping competition have until December 14 to submit a video and a resume explaining their suitability for the one-month job of "international shopping consultant," which will include a 5,000-euro salary.
