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.

Financial advisers to Italian cellular phone company Omnitel will today announce that the company's $1.1bn syndicated loan has been oversubscribed, with a substantial share placed with foreign investors, including UK institutions. The financing will underwrite the roll-out of Omnitel's network, which will compete with the state telephone company Telecom Italia. Company executives declined to comment on the financing deal, saying that lead banks - including JP Morgan, Chase Manhattan, UBS and Societe Generale - would make an announcement today.
