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.

Apple is taking to the stage once more to unveil its latest gadgets. Although a leaked manual has confirmed that the company will be showing off a new iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 this certainly won't be all to the event.

We're also hoping to see updates to the iMac and possibly to Apple TV, as well as finally getting some firm release dates for Apple Pay and for OS X Yosemite - the latest version of Apple's desktop operating system.
