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.

CanWest Global Communications, the family-controlled Canadian broadcaster, continues to raise its stake in Ulster TV, one of the last independently owned ITV companies. CanWest, which first bought into Ulster last month, snapped up another 500,000 shares yesterday, taking its holding to 8.38 per cent. Although the company insists it is not about to make a full bid, it is increasing the pressure on Scottish Media Group, which is expected to swallow Ulster.

Savoy Asset Management is hoping to ride on the back of the appetite for fund managers when it comes to the market today. The company, which specialises in fund management and stockbroking, has placed 1.5 million shares at 95p. Dealing is expected to open at 100p to 105p.
