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.

Orange said it had doubled its subscriber base to 573,000 in the 12 months to June, giving it 9 per cent of the market, and said it was adding customers at an average rate of about 30,000 a month. Vodafone, the mixed analogue and digital operator, said it had added 106,000 subscribers in the second quarter of 1996, compared to about 85,000 at Orange and 70,000 at Cellnet. Orange shares closed 5.5p lower at 219.5p after some analysts described the subscriber figures as disappointing.
