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.

IF Trans World, the commercial radio group, thought it had seen the last of Owen Oyston, the flamboyant socialist tycoon, after ousting him from the board in 1991, it was mistaken. Mr Oyston still clings to a 29 per cent stake and may return with a full bid. He is also pitching for the new North-west independent radio franchise, which covers Manchester, Merseyside and Lancashire and would make an ideal marriage with his Lancashire Life, Cheshire Life magazines stable. It would also hit Trans World, which owns Piccadilly Radio in Manchester and Red Rose in Lancashire.
