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.

THE TYPICAL non-executive chairman of a FTSE 100 company is likely to spend more than 150 days a year on the company's business, compared with around 50 days for a chairman of a company with a turnover of around pounds 100m, according to a survey by Monks Partnership.

The reasons for this become clear when the survey adds that the FTSE 100 chairman is likely to be paid around pounds 160,000, compared with pounds 50,000 for the smaller company chairman.
