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.Two major automotive publications announced new iPad editions November 23, as the industry struggles with falling sales of traditional magazines.
The new apps from Car and Driver and Motor Trend offer enhanced functionality designed to reinvigorate interest in speciality motoring publications, which have been hit by the growth of free content available online.
Car and Driver's app features up to the minute news feeds, embedded videos, interactive graphics and charts and a link to the magazine's reader community, with the magazine's editor Eddie Alterman saying that it allows readers to "engage more deeply with our content."
Motor Trend's app features bonus material such as audio commentary from editorial staff and new ways of comparing data in the magazine's head-to-head tests.
"This is more than just the magazine in another format; it represents a richer, deeper, more immersive Motor Trend experience for readers," said Motor Trend Editor-in-Chief Angus MacKenzie.
This year has seen a flurry of automotive publications launched for iPad as editors look for new ways to keep readers loyal and engaged.
Popular Mechanics won considerable acclaim at its launch in July and Auto Bild, Europe's largest car magazine, followed suit with its own app in October.
