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.

French Vogue crowned a new style queen yesterday, naming former fashion director Emanuelle Alt as its editor-in-chief.

The promotion follows editor Carine Roitfeld's resignation last month, after nine years at the helm.

Alt has worked at the magazine – often seen as the most experimental and extreme of the fashion franchise – for over a decade. The front-row reshuffle will not surprise those familiar with her discreet influence. She has long been a quiet acolyte of Roitfeld's, something of an unknown in a famously flamboyant industry.

"Emanuelle knows [French Vogue] inside out," said Xavier Romatet, president of Condé Nast France. I have total confidence in her."
