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.

The results were affected by reorganisation costs and a pounds 19.5m provision. Interest charges, however, eased as borrowings were cut by a third to pounds 11.7m ( pounds 17.5m). Turnover fell 23 per cent to pounds 38.8m ( pounds 50.7m). Loss per share worsened from 33p to 254p. No dividend (0.1p).

Turnover edged up to pounds 36.1m ( pounds 36m). The company said the effective devaluation of the pound and the new CAP agrimonetary system introduced in January had a detrimental impact on raw material prices and would continue in the second half.
