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 LOT of normally wary money is flooding into the Irish independent oil company Tullow Oil. Shares are up 4p on the week to close at 17 1/2 p, more than double the year's low. The reason is not next week's profits figures but results from a number of exciting wells being tested in Senegal, and in proven fields in Syria and Pakistan.

Even without new gushers, the shares are underpinned by assets conservatively valued at 55p a share and the cash flow from the gas for Scottish Power's new generating plant.
