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.

MURRAY JOHNSTONE knows exactly how to attract the attention of personal finance journalists. The Scottish fund management company has sent out bottles of "Murray Johnstone Fleury Organic Champagne" to mark the launch of its Murray Ethical World Fund.

Should I query whether tempting journalists with booze is "ethical"? Or would that cut off the flow to this office? Dilemmas, dilemmas...
