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.

New contracts in Europe and the US helped push six-month profits at Logica, the computer services company, to pounds 9m from pounds 7.2m last time. Shares rose 17p to 532p on the news of the better-than-expected performance.

The company, which specialises in computer applications for the utilities, telecommunications and defence sectors, is a finalist, with partners, in at least four large tenders in the UK, including the pounds 10m contract to provide a payments system for the Benefits Agency.
